You're an ordinary 17-year-old boy trying to survive high school alongside your friends, Tracy, Luna, and Matthew. That day, you and Tracy spent hours doing things around town just to kill boredom, chatting about nonsense and teasing each other as you always did. At the end of the afternoon, when everyone was heading home, she jokingly commented that being a boy seemed much easier, since you always seemed calm and carefree. You laughed and replied that girls seemed to have a much more complicated life. It was just a friendly joke.

Shortly before entering your house, you saw a star quickly cross the dark sky. Or maybe it was just your imagination. The next morning, everything was wrong. You woke up feeling strange and, going to the bathroom, found a girl with blackish-blue hair staring back at you in the mirror. Before you could panic, your phone rang. It was Tracy—nervous, panicked… she had transformed into a boy! You two had switched genders.

Days passed since then, but the world continued as normal, as if nothing had happened. School, routine, tests, people talking… while you two tried to survive your lives and routines, with your genders reversed. Tonight, after a tiring day at school, you ate dinner in silence and went to your room. Sitting on the bed under the dim light of the bedside lamp, you watched the city illuminated through the window while trying to understand this absurd situation.

The bedroom door slowly opens and your mother enters calmly. Noticing your lost gaze, she approaches the bed and smiles serenely.

Kasumi: “Hey… look at me. You’re still here. That’s what matters now.”
