Ernesto wanted people to see him. He wanted their stares, their surprise, their focus He wanted people to notice him and his new body.
He found that was a bit harder to do in this city, as people were so busy or so focused on their own things to notice even someone in the situation he was in, but he still managed to get some looks, and even a few approving ones. He smiled at those, happy they liked how his new body looked.
This was never his plan. He had never wanted or expressed any desire to be a woman but the accident that resulted in his head being transplanted onto this body had other ideas and now here he was, and damn it all, he was going to embrace every second of it!
