I stared at myself in the mirror a little longer.
God, I'm starting to get undereye circles. Must not be sleeping enough.
I took a deep breath, and brought my hand to the mirror, touching my reflection just to make sure it was real.
As I did, I suddenly remembered the jade bracelet in my pocket. I fished it out, and brought it back to the light. At the moment, it wasn't glowing, but I still stared at it as if I was holding an alien artifact.
I didn't want to say that the bracelet made me look like a beautiful woman. But, it really did feel like it was the cause. It would explain why Leo acted so strange when he first saw me, and why I passed out immediately after wearing it. It would also explain why I had turned back into my normal self after I took it off.
Did...did Marie's Grandmother know this would happen to me? Or am I just experiencing an elaborate delusion?
Only one way to find out.
I lifted the bracelet to put it on again, then stopped.
Wait.
If you turn into this other person again, how do you know for sure you can come back? Yes, it worked this time, but what if you get stuck like that forever?
"I'm not going to get stuck," I said aloud, but deep down I did still consider the possibility.
What if you lose all connections to the people that knew the old you and can only picture a relationship to the person with that face?
"That's...That doesn't matter," I mumbled.
What if you gain this new face, but in doing so you lose everyone you ever knew?
When you walk past those who you loved with this face, and see no love for you in their hearts, how will that affect you?
I shook my head and shrugged. "Whatever."
Don't you care if people leave you? Even if you've come to expect it, are you really ready to go through all that again? And, and what if you don't enjoy being a woman? How do you know putting on this bracelet will change your life in a positive way?
I frowned.
"Too many questions," I murmured. "I don't have time for this. I'm going to do it."
If I was the sort of person who had a reason to stay, maybe I wouldn't have done it.
But I was not the sort of person who had people to come back to and worry about.
If I were to disappear forever, from this bathroom, from this world, from this plane of existence, nobody would care.
And so, I put back on the bracelet and embraced the new face that took shape before me.
