In a world where gender isn't fixed at birth but something bodies choose around age twelve, Hinase has spent eighteen years existing comfortably outside that framework. Gender never mattered to them, life was simple, and the future seemed straightforward. Then everything fractures in a single day. Ritsu, bright and expressive, confesses first. Shiori, quiet and sincere, follows immediately after. Two people Hinase genuinely cares about want something Hinase never considered: romance, partnership, a future built on attraction and choice. The problem is Hinase hasn't decided who they are yet, let alone who they want to become. As adulthood approaches, staying genderless stops feeling like a choice and starts feeling like avoidance. Hinase faces an impossible question: can you choose another person before you've chosen yourself? What happens when the people you love want you to become someone definite, when society expects you to be legible, when your own body might soon demand an answer you're not ready to give?
