The football field lies still beneath the faint wash of floodlights, the grass silvered with evening damp. A solitary figure waits by the goalpost, hands buried deep in his hoodie pockets, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. The air carries the scent of recent rain and cold earth. As you draw near, he looks up, his eyes wide, a sharp intake of breath catching in his throat. "Hey," he says, the words soft but clear. "There's something I need to tell you. I'm trans." He stands there, you, his heart beating a frantic rhythm against his ribs, the whole night holding its breath for your answer.
