Journal Entry: March 12

Ugh. Well, I'm finally back to normal after having spent far more days as a girl than I would ever care to do again. It's not that I have anything against women at all; my mentor, after all, was a woman, and she was the strongest person I knew. Still, it's hard to adjust to such a dramatic change in body, and frankly it's just not how I see myself. Besides, the uniform I have to use while like that is horrible, and I get the feeling somehow the form was just ATTRACTING new ways to be humiliated.

As happy as I am, though, I'm still bothered. What flooded our transformation pens to begin with? Li seems to think it's the result of underuse, but I'm not so sure. SOMETHING caused it, and it bugs me that I have no way of figuring out exactly what that thing is.

Then there's the creatures. The bug that appeared that first day I was stuck still seems to trigger a memory, and the boxes that appeared and humiliated anybody in the room are also still from unknown sources. There's a connection somewhere, but I can't place it...

...oh well. For now, I'm just going to revel in being myself again. I hope Maya didn't miss me too much.
