		'"This is the first time I changed the gender of a person, therefore I just HAD to see your reaction. Totally worth it. But you turned out beautiful. For a first try that is of course. I miscalculated something, for example due to sharp hormonal change you have bad acme on your face and I failed to change your eyes and lips. On the bright side, your body will change much faster than one of a natural born woman. That means it will be easier to gain and lose weight and change facial features. All in all you turned quite well. By the way, your new ''equipment'' down there is fully functional, so if you don''t want to be a mother, you should think about using contraceptives."'

On a side note, I already took care of an alibi. Today Mikhail crashed his car into the pit and died, it''s on the news." With these words, Tatiana picked up the remote and turned on the TV.'
