“You’re saying that...I used to be a guy? Shouldn’t I remember that? I’ve heard about the Transformation Virus, but aren’t people usually aware when their bodies change?” Jung asked.

“That’s precisely why we’re so concerned here,” Dr. Park replied, “We suspect it’s some sort of mutation. But, let me ask, if you’ve always been a woman, do you remember anything that might be specific to the female experience? Perhaps describe your prom dress? Or what your first period was like? Or even when your last period was?”

Jung sat silent for several minutes. There was no way she could remember any of it, because none of it had ever happened. She had been a man up until a few days ago; she just couldn’t remember it. She did remember her life, but her body seemed like a fuzzy memory in it. She figured it was better this way. Even if she was probably going to be studied extensively due to the mutation of the virus inside of her, at least she didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with her body. It all felt so weirdly normal.
