This is yet another one of those pages where the script has existed for months, but even as early as this morning, I've still been editing the dialogue/narration. I think it's the best it's been, but even now, I find myself questioning it. I guess I'll see how well I did when the comments come in... >_>

We stayed together for another three years after that. I would perform on stage as a woman and go on dates as a man. Well, as much of a man as possible. But even with a binder on, I was... gifted.
I was really just her boyish girlfriend for that time. Not for any lack of effort on her part though. Fara handled things better than I did half the time. She never judged, she never complained. For me, she was perfect.
She tried to introduce me to your family again, but I was immediately recognized and thrown out. I was deemed a bad influence, and by your father's decree, even Fara wasn't allowed near you while she was with me. She feigned like it didn't bother her, but I know how much she used to idolize Liriel, and love you guys. It was obviously killing her inside to have to stay away.
The band was also suffering. We'd get big gigs, and then have them canceled on us. One of which, I'm quite certain is because they learned about me somehow.
And through it all, I was suffocating with all the back and forth. I really didn't feel like I passed anyway, so it hardly felt real. I just... couldn't keep going under these conditions.
I loved Fara. I loved that band. But I felt like I was bringing everyone down. I just wanted to make things right.
I'm not proud of my decision back then, but I... ran away. Far away. I immediately regreted it, but I couldn't afford to get back. Instead, I tried to make the most of things and start over fresh.
I'm proud of how I brought myself up, and through transition, the man I've become. But I admit, I did some stupid things and I'm not without regrets.
