Cue dozens of readers searching through the archives to find a shot of Maria's ears. Hint: unless I overlooked something, you won't find them. And Chapter B doesn't count (as that'd have been before the piercings happened). XD
And for those unaware - in case you were wondering about Emily's remark - Estrogen can be taken in a number of ways, including pills, injections, and patches. I don't know if it's always the case, but my doctor gave me a choice. I don't like needles (although I've gotten more used to them from constant necessary bloodwork in recent years), and I've heard the patches aren't always reliable (ie, they have trouble sticking), so I take it in pill form myself. Although, due to increased blood clot risk, my doctor says I'll have to switch to another method once I reach a certain age. Rain or Jessica should be fine though.
Rain's defiance against needles cracks me up though. "Nu-uh" and all. Actually, a lot of things about this page amuse me. I like this page. XD
Finally, just a reminder that the current chapter will end next week. This will be followed by a hiatus if Volume 3 is still not done by then. How long of a hiatus might be variable; it could be very short, or it could be a bit longer. I don't know for sure yet, but I will absolutely keep you posted.

"Ooh, tolerance. I'm moving up in world" being my favourite line.
Also, Maria is badass. Maybe that sometimes translates differently to some people.
I hope i'll be able to take pills. I really don't like things like patches, and I fear needles as much as the end of the world. Some years ago, the nurses were unable to take my blood for tests about my precocious puberty...
Well, if I REALLY must take hormones by injections... I'd be more than happy about it, my life is absolutely worth the pain, but still!
Also, her hair is a bit light, but I've heard they've gotten past some of that and laser is more viable for lighter hair now.
I seriously do not jive with needles.
I'm not sure if it's something about my muscle tissue or technique or what, but I absolutely could not do injections. I went back to pills and have stayed ever since.
I, for instance, describe the feeling as someone dragging a dull razor blade across my skin, which eventually dulls to the point where I can barely feel it... exceptions for those times when they are coloring in highly sensitive areas where the nerve endings are closer to the skin.
