Synopsis

As Ana gets a call from Gavin, Michael looks at a photograph of Ana as a three-year-old, revealing that Ana is trans and that she made her gender clear very early in life.

Author Notes

Oh. Oh! Ooooohhh~!

This update and the last were not scripted. In fact, Ana was not planned to be in this chapter at all. The original plan was to not even bring up this piece of information for like another four or five chapters. However, there has been a lot of debate surrounding Ana's character, and I would say a good number of people had a decent idea of where I was going with her. And with people catching on, I didn't want to drag it out longer than necessary (in an effort to try not to repeat the Maria x Emily thing that MOST people figured out much sooner than I'd anticipated). I'm learning. XD

So, pat yourself on the back if you picked up on this much of Ana's story sooner than now. And happy surprise twist page if you didn't. Perhaps the last page makes a little bit more sense now if you reread it. ;)

Still, with all that said, I hesitate to call this page a "reveal". Not because a lot of people guessed this far. Rather, it's because we're not done, and nobody (as far as I saw) had the whole thing. Ana's pretty complicated. So expect to be learning much more about her in the future...

...just not next time. Scene change. XD

Transcript

Ah! Gavin's calling~!
Dad! Shoo!
Ha ha ha! I'm going, I'm going!
Helloooo~!

A few minutes later:
Michael is holding a card that reads "Aaron Anastacia Age 3"
Michael thinks to himself:

You wanted that dress for your third birthday. "If I can't have one, I don't want anything", you said. It was sudden, but in that moment, I realized we'd made a mistake. We didn't have a boy after all.
The whole thing's been very confusing and admittedly very weird. But it's finally about to be over, and you can live the way you were meant to.
I just hope you can forgive me for our error in judgment way back then.
