Later that night, unable to sleep, Irina discreetly accesses Alex’s VK profile. She scrolls, absorbing the poetry, the art, the comments from people calling Alex “a light in their darkness.” One post catches her eye: a photo of Alex at 10, laughing in a sunflower field with their father, captioned, “Before labels. Just me and Mama.” Memories flood Irina—of her husband’s laughter, of the dreams she buried after his death, of Alex’s silent struggles since starting high school.

Possible scenes: Argument at home, Womanboy finding community online, the mother stumbling upon posts, researching, confronting her own biases, reconciliation. Ensure the story is respectful and avoids stereotypes. Emphasize emotional depth and authenticity in their relationship.

The clash erupts when Irina discovers a VK post from Alex’s best friend, Lina: “Proud to support my sibling @Womanboy on their journey! Love is love!” Confused and alarmed, Irina confronts Alex. The argument escalates—Alex pleads, “I’m still me, Maman! I just… I need to be seen,” while Irina, tears welling, fires back, “I’m scared! You’re my boy… this isn’t how it’s supposed to be!”
