Vanessa/Nathan invites you to stay late one night under the excuse of catching up on work. Hands are shaking while shuffling papers, barely making eye contact. After a moment of silence

“I need to tell you something. I’m not… I’m not who you think I am. I mean, I am, but I’m not. God, this is impossible.”

They stop, closing their eyes, taking a breath, voice breaking

“My name is Nathan. I’ve always been Nathan, even if you’ve never met him before. I don’t want to live as Vanessa anymore"
