conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Let’s head in first.” Rae took Joel’s hand and pulled her inside. The clinic was bigger than the one at the Royal Academy, and a few people were in the waiting room, awaiting their medical exams. The interior was immaculate and spotlessly clean.

conversations.value:  “You’re late.” Yu and Misha greeted the three of us. They volunteered here as members of the Church, despite their busy schedule as students. We were meeting up because I’d asked for their help on something.

conversations.value:  “How are you feeling, Julia?” Claire asked.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I’m okay, Miss Claire.” The patient was Julia, one of the children we occasionally visited at the convent. She didn’t seem to like me much, but she had completely opened up to Claire—as well as to the pope, apparently, for the duration we had switched places.

conversations.value:  “Um…?” Joel seemed confused by why she had been brought here.
conversations.prefix: Joel:

conversations.value:  “This girl’s being treated for a particular curse.”
conversations.prefix: Yu:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “One that Rae asked me to alert her to, if I came across it. The Crosswise Curse.”
conversations.prefix: Yu:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Joel’s eyes went wide with realization. For her sake, I had been searching for someone with the Crosswise Curse. If this were modern-day Japan, leaking a patient’s private information would have been a problem, but such things were more lax in this world. Still, I’d never expected Julia to have the curse.
conversations.prefix: Joel:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Rae, you didn’t…”
conversations.prefix: Joel:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  “I did. How would you like to try contracting the Crosswise Curse?” I asked. A quick explanation for those who forgot: The Crosswise Curse was communicable, and it effectively transformed one’s body into that of the opposite gender’s. For most people, having your gender suddenly swapped was an unwelcome experience, but it was a gleaming opportunity for someone who desired that change, like Joel.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  “Just to temper your expectations a bit, there’s no guarantee the Crosswise Curse will give you the ideal body you desire, especially with how masculine your current body is.” I explained. Yu’s case had gone as well as could be hoped, but she’d had a feminine face to start with—and had been born female in the first place.
