章節 27: 27-Without A Wolf

Helanie:

Showering in his bathroom was incredibly soothing. After finishing, I felt this sudden urge to sit in the bathtub.

I had never owned a bathtub before, but I had seen people enjoying them in movies. I filled it with warm water and carefully lowered myself in. Taking a deep breath, I clung to the edge of the tub until I felt settled.

The beautiful wall with its blue patterns caught my eye, and I found myself lost in admiration, forgetting everything else. The calmness of the water washed over me.

As I began to close my eyes, a distant memory started to unfold in my mind.

Flashback:

"Helanie, are your parents coming for your first transition?" the girl to my left asked, her question sending a shiver through me at the mere mention of them.

I wanted them to come, but I feared that if I upset them somehow, they would punish me later.
