Uh... testosterone. And stupid people.

[They mumble a respone, half-hoping that Amane won't hear. It's not exactly accurate to call their condition an allergy, but it's certainly irritating, so... close enough. Shinsha had been born with an extra chromosome that was to blame for their girlish face, gangly limbs, weak bones and chronic fatigue. After their mother died, they'd been abandoned by their family because of it. But then, years later, their grandparents discovered that the condition was treatable - all Shinsha had to do was wear an almost unnoticeable testosterone patch, and they'd be normal. They could become the boy they were supposed to be, and they could go home to their family... but by that time, the orphanage was the only home they knew.]

It's fine. I'm not sick or anything, not really. But... my family thinks I am.

[They shrug, sinking deeper in their chair, but they're too tall and awkward to disappear into the cushions no matter how hard they try. They've never told anyone at school about this... but people notice, and people talk.]

You're right, though. When you're the only one sneezing in class, people stare, and no one wants to sit near you...
