If—once I am put into a male body, I am sure I will never feel that peace again." Yu said, all the while maintaining a perfect princely demeanor.

conversations.value:  Being queer in my previous life, I had met people with all sorts of queer experiences. A number of those people had struggled with gender dysphoria, and some had found wellness and peace in changing their mode of dress, or taking hormones, and other such things. I don’t think that was enough for everyone, not all the time. I mean, 21st-century Japan’s advanced medical technology could do a great deal, including surgically, but sometimes that still couldn’t totally cure a person’s dysphoria. However, even treatment aimed at merely alleviating symptoms can be absolutely critical, even lifesaving. In my opinion, that made all these changes utterly worth it.

conversations.value:  "One is to continue with things the way they are."
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "But…what would that solve?"
conversations.prefix: Salas:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "It would satisfy the palace’s need for Yu to be a prince, and Yu could continue to, on occasion, be true to herself. There is a sort of balance here."
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  "And the other way?" Salas prompted, looking a little disheartened.
conversations.prefix: Salas:

conversations.value:  "The other would be for Yu to embrace her life as a girl…"

conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  "What is this?" Salas spluttered.
conversations.prefix: Salas:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  I remained firm. "It’s Yu’s obligation to play the part of heir that complicates things. So, if Yu were to cast off the restraints of that role…"
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Are you suggesting the palace exposes the years of this deception? The scandal?"
conversations.prefix: Salas:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Not at all. After Yu has been disinherited, the palace would announce the prince had taken ill, and Yu would be taken to the convent. Yu would stay there with a number of attendants, secluded for a time, but there, we could at last resolve the curse."

conversations.prefix: Salas:

conversations.value:  Maybe I had rushed into this a little.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "That means…" Yu said, "I would have to spend the rest of my life confined to the convent?"
conversations.prefix: Yu:

conversations.value:  "Not quite—it wouldn’t be confinement."
