Emilia's mother placed a gentle hand on Mahina's shoulder, her expression soft and understanding. "Mahina, dear, I think it would be best if you take some time to bathe. You must be feeling overwhelmed by everything that's happened."
Mahina nodded shakily. "Yes, Madam. I... I'd like some time alone if that's alright."
Emilia's mother gave her a kind smile. "Of course, take all the time you need. Emilia, why don't you go gather some clean clothes for Mahina?"
After Mahina had gone to the bathroom, Emilia's mother turned to her daughter, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Emilia, I want you to understand something about Mahina."
Emilia looked up at her mother, her eyes filled with concern. "What is it, Mom?"
"Right now, Mahina needs time and space to process everything. The best thing you can do is be patient and supportive."
Emilia nodded, her expression somber. "You're right, Mom. I can't even imagine what she's going through."
Her mother gave her an encouraging smile. "That's why it's so important for you to be there for her, Emilia. She's going to need your comfort and support more than ever."
"I understand," Emilia said, her resolve strengthening. "I'll do whatever I can to help Mahina through this."
Her mother nodded approvingly. "That's my girl."
Emilia hurried to her room, gathering a clean set of clothing for her friend. As she was about to head back to the bathroom, she heard a muffled scream from behind the door.
Emilia's heart raced as she rushed to the bathroom, knocking frantically. "Mahina? Mahina, are you okay?"
After a moment of silence, Mahina's voice came through the door, slightly shaky. "U-um, I... I think so. I just, uh, saw something unexpected, that's all."
Emilia let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding. "Can I come in, Mahina?"
There was a brief pause before Mahina responded. "I... I suppose so."
Emilia's gaze followed Mahina's, and she couldn't help but notice the changes in her friend's body. "Hmm, I see your... 'boy part' is gone now," she said, her tone matter-of-fact.
Mahina's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she averted her gaze. "I... I know. It's all so strange and different. I don't even recognize myself anymore."
Emilia's expression softened as she regarded her friend. "So, do you know how to pee?"
Mahina's brow furrowed slightly. "Of course, I'm not that dumb."
Emilia gave her a gentle smile. "Okay, good. But do you know what to do after that?"
Mahina's eyes widened slightly. "Uhh, there's another part?"
Emilia chuckled softly. "Well, yeah. If you, you know, have to poop, don't you have to wipe afterward?"
Mahina's cheeks flushed even deeper. "I mean, yeah, but..."
Emilia interrupted her, her tone reassuring. "It's exactly like that. You don't want to leave any... mess behind. You've got to make sure you're all clean and fresh down there."
Mahina nodded slowly, her expression a mix of understanding and discomfort. "I see. That makes sense, I suppose."
Mahina raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her voice. "You seem awfully eager about this, Emilia. Is this some kind of revenge for when I beat you in that fight?"
Emilia let out a mock-offended gasp. "What? No way! I'm just genuinely excited to share my knowledge with you." She paused, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Although, I guess you could say this is a tiny bit of payback for that time you whooped me. And you don't even beat me, you know."
