"I was wrong..." Jojo's father finally accepted reality; Kiara's analogy was extremely effective at piercing his heart.
"Dr. Clark, I now realize my mistake. Can you, please tell me, how can I bring my child back to normal?" he begged.
"If you had brought 5-year-old Jojo to me, maybe I could have developed a treatment plan. But now, as he has grown, his gender identity has become fixed. He believes he is happier this way, and I won't lie to you, I did try to correct it initially. I attempted to let him choose whether to be a man or a woman, but unfortunately, Jojo's subconscious still believes that being a man is more joyful."
Some harm is irreversible.
"Does this mean he has to live this way for a lifetime..." Jojo's father covered his face, wondering why there were no pills for regret in this world.
"Why did you have a child in the first place? To support you in old age? To carry on the family line? Or, was it simply to extend a life?"
