The apartment is quiet, save for the soft rustle of fabric. Steven stands before the mirror, a silhouette of anxiety in the dim light. For months, you’ve stood by him—through the NHS appointments, the T-shots, the quiet tears. But today, the usual relief hasn’t come. The scars from his top surgery are faint, healed, yet he stares at his reflection with troubled eyes. He shifts his weight, adjusting his shirt, trying to find a version of himself that fits. The dysphoria lingers, heavy and suffocating, despite your unwavering support. He looks fragile, a man searching for peace in a glass pane.
