3: other me confidently says: "Not a problem chief! We'll bottle it like the rest!"
4: Several bottles resting on a table, labelled things like "Rats" "Climate" "COVID" Chief, unsure, says "...Alright."
5: Coping mechanism(CM), pleased, speaks "Yep, I've kept us going a long time with the "Bottle It All Up" plan."
6: The two stand beside a huge bottle that seems to be shaking, CM continues, "It all started when I bottled up The Big One."
7: Chief asks "What's in it?" Coping Mechanism puts a hand on the bottle, "Dunno! And that's the idea!"
8: Chief, looking suspicious, asks "Does it... seem a bit unstable?" CM laughs off his concerns, "That bottle has held for almost twenty years, there's no way-"
9: The surface of the bottle forms a small crack. SFX: KRK
10: Both mes look panicked.

18: Chief looks over to Coping Mechanism, who is also now female and staring at herself in shock. "...You are so fired."

Comic, 13 Panels
Panel 1: Robin leaning against a couch and speaking to the reader "I remember a lot of little stuff from earlier in my life that should have clued me into my transness. But here’s one that sticks out:"
Panel 2: Past Robin, pretransition, sitting on a different couch, on a laptop. Present Robin continues speaking, "It's 2009, maybe 2010. I was hanging out in the green room of the student theater on campus." Caption: (Yes, I did theater, try to look surprised)
Panel 3: Past Robin raises an eyebrow
Panel 4: A mouse cursor over a link SFX: Click
Panel 5: Past Robin reading while present Robin sits on the couch and speaking, "It was an article about a sixteen year old trans girl in Germany. She’d started puberty blockers at twelve, and hormone therapy a few years after that."
Panel 6: The screen, with the article and a picture of the girl, "And she just… looked like a woman."
Panel 7: Past Robin continues reading while Present Robin jazz hands a little while speaking, "The article itself was fairly neutral, more of a “wow, modern medicine!” sort of thing."
Panel 8: Present Robin looking to Past Robin, "It was the first time I had heard about HRT, and very nearly the first time I had heard about transgender people*" Caption: (*in a context other than “hilarious” mid 2000’s “jokes”)
Panel 9: Past Robin reading, both eyebrows raised in interest
Panel 10: Past Robin looking suddenly very uncomfortable as purple shadows rise up from behind SFX: UNEXPLAINED FEELINGS
