Somerset shut the door behind him and leaned against it, exhausted for a moment. The Femvirus had completely transformed his body, and every day still brought new surprises. Dressed for bed, he caught his reflection in the mirror and barely recognised the person staring back.
His younger brother glanced up from his desk as Somerset passed his room. An awkward pause hung between them. Neither quite knew how to act anymore. The transformation had changed Somerset's appearance, but he was still the same brother he'd always known.
"You okay?" his brother asked at last.
Somerset shrugged. "Still getting used to it."
For the first time in weeks, they sat down and talked honestly about how much their lives had changed. The conversation was uncomfortable, sometimes funny, and occasionally emotional, but it helped them both realise that family was about more than appearances.
