Mech Pilot who has a name scrawled on their battlefield tomb. I knew you by that name.
It's so good to finally see each other again! You look so much happier now. You know, other than the hardships of war and everything, haha.
Yeah, I've made a lot of changes for the better since then. It's been a long process, but I'm so glad I did it.
How did it go telling your family?
They were honestly more upset about me becoming a pilot than coming out. When they found out I had enlisted, they went and bought me a grave plot that they called my 'battlefield tomb.'
Oh wow, that's pretty dramatic.
Yeah, the thing is I didn't come out to them until after that, and they had to get the name engraved at purchase. So now there's a tomb for the person I was before transition, which is stupid but also kind of funny to me.
Well, good riddance. I wish I could have come to the funeral.
