"During the MRI, he suddenly had difficulty breathing, and finally found that there was fluid near the heart, and he was temporarily stable after suctioning it." Fujiwara reported to Gregory. "It doesn't seem to have much to do with his intersex characteristics, and we might have to consider other diseases."

"I think you've probably already counted them, right?" Gregory raised an eyebrow. "Tell me what you think."

"It could be a toxin infection parasite or something, I don't have a very good idea at the moment." Fujiwara stalls.

"What about you?" Instead of expressing his opinion, Grigory looked at Hotaru again.

"This patient ...... I think it might have something to do with nesting. Hotaru hesitated for a moment before replying. Of course, I'm not saying that his intersex characteristics lead to these conditions in him, but ...... As far as I know, this child should have just started taking ** ketones to help him with puberty a month or two ago, and if he had an allergic reaction to this thing, developing an autoimmune disease such as lupus erythematosus, would it be able to cause these symptoms? ”

"Well, he did start using ** ketones recently, so I thought I could try this reason." Grigory nodded. "But...... If that's the case, even if cortisol suppresses the immune system's agitation, what are you going to do with the ** ketones that are allergens? Directly block it with phenastil and then force the patient to let go of other futures? I think you might need to talk to his parents - I'm not going to do this. ”

Hotaru and Gregory looked at each other, then sighed inwardly.

……

"Hormone blockers?" After hearing such a descriptor, the patient's parents hesitated a little, but finally the mother plucked up the courage and asked Hotaru. "That'...... If it is indeed because of the disease caused by ** ketone in the end, does it mean that if he wants to stay healthy, he will not be able to inject this again? ”

"It could be so," Hotaru nodded, continuing after glancing at Fujiwara who was pressing her outside the door. "If this is indeed the cause, it must not be injected again."

"In that case, he will never be able to continue to grow up, but will stay in adolescence forever and be a boy for the rest of his life?" The mother continued to ask.

"Hmm...... But—" Hotaru nodded, but seemed to remember something, and began to comfort them. "But we're not sure if it's due to this issue yet, so we're just going to give it a try, and if it's not this then of course he could-"

"But if that's it, he'll only be a boy for the rest of his life, not a man." The mother interrupted Hotaru. "How old are you?"

"Me? 18-year-old ...... "Hotaru didn't expect the other party to start asking for her own information.

"That's your boyfriend out there, have you considered going down with him?" The mother had apparently noticed Fujiwara a long time ago, and at this time he was also drawn into the discussion. "If your boyfriend takes off his pants and the thing is only five centimeters, even if you like him, can you really be with him?"

Hotaru was silent, because she knew very well what the average girl's answer would be, and she was obviously more sensitive than the average girl in this regard.

"We ......" the mother's mood deteriorated further, looking at her husband and asking him so. Did we do something wrong in the first place? Are we ...... Should he be made a girl? ”

11 years ago, ward.

"I assure you that your child can live a normal life," the doctor said to the mother holding the baby. "So you don't need to worry."

"But...... I don't understand," the mother still has difficulty accepting such facts. "How can a baby have the genes of both a boy and a girl?"

"It's a disease called genetic nesting, but ...... At the very least, we can surgically repair the baby's external genitalia so that they are no longer blurry, but have typical sex characteristics. ”

"Yes...... If you can get your child back to a typical gender, why do you tell us to be both a boy and a girl? Father frowned. Aren't you already-"

"Making babies more gendered doesn't mean we know what gender characteristics we want to make babies, sir." The doctor sighed and explained. "You were the ones who told me what kind of features to choose for the baby, and then we surgically removed the part of the genitalia that did not match the assigned sex. See what I mean? You need to tell me what gender you want this child to be. ”

Fifteen minutes later, the ward.

"Why do you want to give me another injection, haven't I already hung up the bottle?" The patient asked curiously.

"For additional treatment, your hanging bottle is an intravenous drip, and it's too slow to take effect - we need to be faster." Fujiwara rolled up the "boy's" sleeves and began to disinfect his arms. "By the way, you were playing basketball before you got sick? How's it going? ”

"Point guard, play ...... Normally, they say I'm doing a good job, but I'm not really enthusiastic about it. The boy shook his head.

"Why are you joining if you're not interested?" Fujiwara glanced at him, but then focused on the injection.

"Because my mom wanted me to join, I had to choose one that I didn't hate." The boy's voice was a little confused. "I told her I wanted to learn how to dance, but she suddenly got angry and told me I had to choose one of basketball, soccer and karate, so I had no choice but to pick a basketball to cope with it."

"Well, you can't blame your mother, after all, you're not very strong, and I think playing basketball should help too-" Fujiwara immediately realized why his mother did this, but just as he was about to get the injection, he saw the boy's hands turn red.

"Is something wrong with me?" The boy also realized that there was something strange about his hands.

"We ...... I may need to go and get you checked. Fujiwara shook his head and put down the needle in his hand. I'll leave for a while. ”

"Uh......" At this moment, the boy suddenly made a somewhat uncomfortable sound, and then, he suddenly turned his face in the opposite direction of Fujiwara, and at the same time leaned out of the bed.

"What's wrong?" Fujiwara was a little curious about the boy's actions and was asking like this, only to find that the boy had started to vomit.

"Vomit—" Before the boy could speak, he suddenly began to spit out blood.
