---- Scene 1 ----

          “I didn’t ask to be a part of this.”

          Jack was staying up late that night. His brain admitted that he needed sleep, but his actions said otherwise. The movements of sitting at a 90 degree angle, fingers touching the screen of his phone. Not to mention the movement of a tear that migrated to the lower half of his cheek.

If only gender dysphoria wasn’t a thing and all this could’ve been prevented just by one change of a letter in his chromosomes. A real life typo, if you will.

          All these desires, yet no answer.
