Sleeping beauty awakens at last. How are you feeling?

Ughh. Like I got hit by a truck. Where the hell am?

You're in hospital. It is February 2023. You've been in a medical induced coma for a while. What's the last thing you remember?

I was driving… it was raining….my fiance was in the car with me… is-

Malcolm is here too. He is stable but comatose.

Malcolm? H-he? But I'm-

Best not to try to recall the accident just yet. You were brought to us in quite a state. When they pulled you out of the wreckage, you were almost unrecognizable. There were burns to 90% of your body, and your face suffered severe trauma, but fortunately we have the finest reconstructive surgeons available here.

Woman? What?

Absolutely. The damage to the genital area was profound but I can assure you everything down there is in full working order. I personally oversaw the reconstructive vaginoplasty to restored your womanhood.

Restored?!

Vanessa, please don't try to get up.

I'm a man, you idiot!

I beg your pardon?

I'm a man! Vanessa is my fiance's name. Oh god, what have you done to me? Get these damn wires out of me.

Ma'am, if you don't calm down, I'll have to have you restrained.

I'm not a woman. I'm Malcolm. Who do you think I am? What the hell have you done to Vanessa?

Nurse! She's hysterical. Prepare a sedative.
