I get up from my nest, throw the egg I laid yesterday in the trash and leave the room, I'm trying to avoid this subject with my parents as much as possible. Of course, the first day this happened to me, I went to talk to them crying, desperate. But I just want to continue living my life, pretending it's exactly the same as before. Pretend this doesn't happen to me. I pass the hallway mirror. My horns are bigger now and my teeth are complete. The perfect portrait of an adult dragon, time passed so quickly... [[Go to breakfast|Ir tomar café da manhã]]

<<set $r to 0>>My parents are human, obviously. A heterosexual couple made up of two cisgender people, who a few years ago gave birth to a little dragon, exactly as it should be. They were finishing a huge plate of pancakes, with honey and everything, which I can't eat because of the sugar. My diet is all meat, just like any other dragon. — Good morning my love. Did you sleep well? — My mother asked me. [["— Like a stone."|"— Feito uma pedra."]] [["— No."|"— Não"]]

<<run Dialog.setup("Warning:"); Dialog.wiki("This game addresses sensitive topics such as suicide, abortion and homophobia."); Dialog.open()>> I wake up after another dream about her. I didn't tell my parents, I don't know how they will react, especially now that I've finally reached the reproductive stage and they won't let go of me. [[Leave the room|Sair do quarto]]

— What do you want to eat, My Little Lizard? My father was standing in front of the storage room that was close to the refrigerator. -Beef. — I replied, simply. He passed through the warehouse door, carrying with some effort a large piece of beef, raw and still bleeding. He threw the steak, which flew across the room. My neck stretched and I bit into the food, concentrating on chewing. [[...|1]]

My mother briefly stroked the scales on the underside of my chin. I didn't mind her getting her nails done. Compared to my claws, the fiercest of her scratches would do nothing to my skin except exfoliate. — Do you want us to take you to school? [["— I can go by myself."|"— Eu vou sozinha."]] [["— Okay..."|"— Pode ser..."]]

The school gate was wide, and all the rooms were actually lawns with huge screens where the subject was projected. I went to my living room and sat in a corner where the grass was already dead from supporting my weight daily. My teacher is human, Mr. Bones. A chubby, bald guy. He is not married and still lives with his mother, an old, worm-eaten dragon. Everyone talks bad about him for not having children. Sometimes I think I'll be just like him... [[Someone enters the room.|Alguém entra na sala.]]

Someone enters the room. It's Maggie. Ah, I don't know how to describe Maggie... A dragon my age, but a thousand times more beautiful. All of her scales seem to be arranged in the right place, her horns delicate, as if they had been carved. Her coloring was reddish, very different from mine, which is beige and dull. Her body is thin and agile, with wide wings. The teeth are white and had already become complete some time ago. All the dragons that reached the reproductive stage lived around her, but she never laid any fertilized eggs. — Good morning, Daisy. [["— Good morning, Maggie."|"— Bom dia, Maggie."]]

There are schools for dragons and schools for humans. Our ways of learning are different and our ways of working are even more so. There are specific jobs for humans and but mainly for dragons. This is because we, dragons, do not have thumbs or fine motor coordination, in addition to reaching maturity faster, and humans are too weak to carry weight and cannot fly around. When you are a dragon, there are only two paths you can follow. You can become a thinker, who uses memory retention capacity and high intellect to help humans in companies, for example, in carrying out complex calculations. Or you can take on a role that makes better use of your dragon body. Being a soldier, freighter, security, transport. Basically you have to choose between using your brain or your muscles, there are no options that mix the two. And now we have just a few months to decide what we want to do for the rest of our lives now. We are almost finished studying. [[...|continuar]]

Before, the human children of dragons were devalued in society, that is, at the beginning of it, when the important thing was just hunting. As I said before, dragons can be very intelligent, yes. They just couldn't create a way to record their ideas or develop tools. This role was left to humans, who with their little hands created increasingly complex instruments, which made society truly progress. See, there is no feud between humans and dragons, because it would be almost impossible for everyone to hate their own parents and children. I think this is the advantage of alternating generations. If we didn't depend on each other to survive, there would probably be a slaughter because of our differences. [[...|continua]]

The annoying thing about us working like this, about depending so much on each other, is the demands. It's quite common for my parents to expect me to have children, all parents want that. Dragon parents expect dragon grandchildren to teach them how to fly, things they couldn't do with their children, because they are human. That's why I have more connection with my grandmother. Just like human parents really want human grandchildren, so they can... play video games together, or whatever humans do for fun... [[...|continue]]

I don't want to have children, at least not biological ones. I hated it when I started ovulating, I was afraid that an egg would break in my belly... I dont't know. The idea of a male on top of me, fertilizing me, also scares me a lot. Another thing, I still haven't told my parents that I like girls, which already greatly reduces my chance of ending up laying a fertilized egg. I want to stay far away from any males, they scare me. But I don't know which is greater, the male fear or the fear of disapproval from my parents... My first ovulation came late, and now that it has finally happened, the weight of my parents' demands for me to have a beautiful little human baby is falling all on me. [[The bell rings|O sinal toca]]

<<set $janny = false>> <<set $maggie = false>>The release bell rings, the class went by faster than I imagined. Well... I didn't pay much attention. Another thing that happens in schools for dragons: our classes are very short compared to those for humans. I think it's because we can't do written homework. I see Maggie leaving the room. A dragon is accompanying her. From the corner of the room, I see Janny calling me. [[Follow Maggie|Seguir Maggie]] [[Talk to Jenny|Ir falar com Janny]]

<<set $maggie = true>><<set $love to 1>>I signal to Janny that we'll talk later and follow Maggie. An imposing male dragon stands beside her. His scales are gray and his body has some scars from the fights he gets into. — Do you want to go to the lake and swim and eat some fish? — He proposes to her and I have the impression that I shouldn't get involved in the conversation. — Maybe another time, Frank. — She looks at me, her expression is one of relief. — Oh, hi, Daisy! Maggie joins me in escaping him. — He's been after me for weeks... — She speaks in a low tone as soon as he walks away. [["— And you're not into him?"|"— E você não tá afim?"]]

— Daisy! I need to talk to you... [["— What happened???"|— O que aconteceu???]]

This whole time I watched her from afar, without having the courage to talk to her much. And now she tells me she doesn't like males. I can't move. [["- 0h..."|"- Ah..."]] [["— Me either!"|"— Eu também não!"]]

— Like a stone. — I replied, kindly. - Great. [[...]]

<<set $r += 1>>— No. — I replied, harshly. I thought about the dream I had. — It must be the hormones... — She insinuated. That made me roll my eyes. [[...]]

<<set $r += 1>>— I can go by myself. — I replied. If I had said yes, I would have had to walk with them, since humans don't naturally fly. It would be a waste of time, but in other situations I would even subject myself to that. The problem is that the atmosphere is strange between us... because of ovulation... The travel time flies by, and soon I was in front of the school. [[...|Entrada]]

— Okay... — I replied, a little discouraged. We walked around the neighborhood, since I can't fit in the car. Several dragons and humans walked side by side along the sidewalks. Lately I've been trying to avoid my parents... they always come up with some weird talk about... — Daisy, darling. — What, dad? — Is there anyone you like at school? [["— Yes."|"— Sim."]] [["— No."|"— Não!"]]

— Yes. — What do you think about taking him home one day? We want to meet him. And let the wedding rites begin... [["— He still doesn't know that I like him."|"— Ele ainda não sabe que eu gosto dele."]] [["— We'll talk about it later, okay?"|"— Depois a gente fala disso, okay?"]]

— He still doesn't know that I like him. —Oh. — My mother seemed impressed, but at the same time pleased. — And when do you intend to tell him? I thought that by inventing that excuse I would be able to escape this conversation, but apparently it didn't work. They live on top of me, it gets suffocating... [["—We'll talk about it later, okay?"|"— Depois a gente fala disso, okay?"]]

— We'll talk about it later, okay? — My voice sounded irritated. They both noticed my tone and fell silent. — Okay... — My father seemed amused by the fact that I was "a little angry". I was doing everything I could to keep the smoke from escaping through my nostrils, but I could already feel my throat starting to heat up. — We arrived. — Now he was the one who seemed to want to escape the conversation, he dismissed me as soon as we approached the school gate. — Good class, daughter. My father patted my back twice when he said goodbye, my mother just followed him, withdrawn. [[...|Entrada]]

— G-Good morning, M-maggie... — The sentence that seemed to form perfectly in my head came out of my mouth stuttered. Maggie looked at me with those slit pupils, surrounded by yellow irises. It was as if I could see something inside her. As if she wanted to tell me something. — All right, everybody, let's start today's class, which will basically be a review of what we see this semester. Sr. Bones spoke into a megaphone, his voice spread throughout the entire area that made up the room. Maggie sat next to me, I controlled myself not to shake with nervousness. [[...|aula]]

— And you're not into him? — Is that how straight dragons communicate? I don't know, it seems like I didn't absorb anything from my time with Janny. I want to hide from so much shame I feel. — I'm not into males. — She said, with the greatest lightness in the world. [[???]]

— Oh... — I do not know what to say. — You're not judging me, right? — She turns her long neck back, looking at me, waiting for me to walk again. — N-no, of course not! [["— I'm also like that."|"— Eu também não!"]] [["— It's just... I didn't expect..."|"— É só que... eu não esperava..."]]

<<set $love += 1>>Maggie turned around, she seemed to look at me differently now. — Really? — She said. Even her voice seemed changed. [["— Just don’t tell anyone, okay?"|"— Só não conta pra ninguém, okay?"]] [["— Yes..."|"— Sim..."]] [["— Just kidding!"|"— Tô zoando!"]]

<<set $love -= 1>>— It's just... I didn't expect... She smiled briefly. I was impressed by the lightness with which she treated the subject. — All good. This is still not seen as very common behavior. <<if $janny == true>>— So... [[...|terminar]]<</if>> <<if $janny == false>>— Daisy! [[???|?]]<</if>>

— Just don't tell anyone, okay? — What do you think I am? Some kind of monster? — She pretended to be serious. The truth is, I didn't know who she really was. As I said before, I wasn't very close to her, I just admired her, keeping a certain distance. I don't know what it was that fascinated me about Maggie. I'd say maybe it's just her way of... being. <<if $janny == true>>— So... [[...|terminar]]<</if>> <<if $janny == false>>— Daisy! [[???|?]]<</if>>

<<set $love += 1>>— Yes... — I said, shyly. Her expression seemed to be one of pity. — Oh, Daisy... you seem kind of... — Maggie tried to find words. — ...frustrated... — It's just... <<if $janny == true>>— Então... [[...|terminar]]<</if>> <<if $janny == false>>— Daisy! [[???|?]]<</if>>

<<set $love -= 1>>— Just kidding! I felt my heart sink as I said this, but I needed to protect myself. — You're terrible, you know that? — Maggie rolled her eyes, laughing. She seemed to have fun. <<if $janny == true>>— So... [[...|terminar]]<</if>> <<if $janny == false>>— Daisy! [[???|?]]<</if>>

<<set $r += 1>>— No! — It is important that you find a partner, my daughter. My mother seemed to press the issue. I rolled my eyes, I was getting uncomfortable. That was why I didn't want their company. [["—We'll talk about it later, okay?"|"— Depois a gente fala disso, okay?"]]

Maggie was already gone. — Daisy! Why did you ignore me? — I... needed to talk to Maggie. — I made up an excuse. — About...? — Seeing that I was stalling to respond, she continued. — You know what, let it go. I need to talk to you, now. [["— What happened???"|— O que aconteceu???]]

— I have to go, okay? — Maggie said to me. Maybe she was in a hurry. She seemed to be nervous about something... not that I wasn't also... nervous... about her presence... — The chat was good. — She spoke finally. - See you around! [[...|saída]]

<<set $janny = true>> — What happened??? Janny looked at me, seriously, and then revealed: — I laid an egg. — She saw that I still hadn't given off any reaction, so she continued, to be clearer: — I laid a fertilized egg. — What are you going to do now?! — I almost screamed. — Could you speak more quietly, please? — She almost whispered. [["— Okay..."]]

— Okay... — I went to the same tone as hers and repeated what I said: — What are you going to do now?! — I checked if there was an embryo in the egg by placing it against a strong light. I cried and told my parents, but obviously they weren't upset. Janny's parents were just like mine. She was my best friend forever and our parents were friends too. It wouldn't take long for the news to reach my house. I understand that Janny is nervous, but come to think of it, she's not going to be judged at all. She was encouraged her whole life to do what she did. [["— How did this happen?"|"— Como isso foi acontecer?"]]

— How did this happen? Her shoulders slumped and she sighed. — Brad pressured me. — Brad was her boyfriend. I didn't like him much, but she liked him. — My parents will take care of the baby. They are very happy, they even bought an incubator and everything, so that I can continue studying and not have to stop coming to school to hatch the egg. — And you're happy with that? — I asked, afraid. - I think so. — She replied calmly, she seemed to be wearing a mask. [[Well...|Bem...]]

Wlell... I hope I'm not the only dragon who thinks about how easy it would be to break a fertilized egg if the mother doesn't want to have the baby. Nobody ever talks about it. Of course, there are those who break it by accident, when they don't know that it is fertilized, or because of parental carelessness. When this happens, parents are rejected, treated as eternally irresponsible by everyone. Look, I don't think it would be considered murder. The embryo in the egg is not yet a life, and eggs break from time to time, it is normal. I think I would do that... Obviously I'm not going to suggest that to her, Janny would call me crazy. [[— Daisy...]]

— Daisy... — She continued. — That reminds me that I found a place you might like. I widened my eyes, showing that I was now paying attention. — A group of dragons our age talking about dragons' reproductive rights. They have some pretty...innovative ideas. I hadn't yet told Janny that she liked females. I didn't have the courage and I didn't know what she could say, maybe our friendship would be weird after that. I only commented once or twice that I didn't feel much desire to... reproduce. [[Janny whispered again|Janny voltou a cochichar]]

Janny whispered again, she got even closer, as if what she was going to tell me was highly confidential. — I even heard that some of them... even... broke eggs... fertilized eggs. I pretended to be surprised, but the interest was genuine. She seemed to have read my mind. — I still haven't had the... courage to go. But I thought you would like it. [[Brad distanced himself from a group of friends and came to join us|Brad se distanciou de um grupo de amigos e veio se juntar a nós]]

Brad distanced himself from a group of friends and came to join us — What are you talking about? — He intruded. — Nothing... — I didn't know what to say. — Girl things. — But of course Janny knew how to convince him. He had his body pressed against hers, by the shoulders. The wings resting on her back. - Let's go? — He said simply and Janny nodded. - Talk to you later. — She looked at me as if she conveyed the true message through her eyes. Later she would give me the address and place where the group meets. <<if $maggie == true>>— Bye! [[...|saída]]<</if>> <<if $maggie == false>>— Daisy! [[???|Seguir Maggie]]<</if>>

And now I was alone at the school gate again. My parents weren't waiting for me, a sign that I should fly home. In fact, I think a flight might help me clear my mind. I stretched my wings after sitting for a long time and rose into the sky. [[...|céu]]

It wasn't like the sky was very full. There were a few dragons flying here and there, and very few buildings to dodge. The wind was gradually making more force against my scales and it was good to feel it on the thinner skin of my wings. I went up more and more. The clouds made my vision blurry and the humidified air entered my nostrils, I opened my mouth a little to "eat" a piece of cloud. I risked a loop. [[...|bad]]

Who was I trying to convince? One way or another, I was going to have to get home and at some point sort this out. Unless I ran away... No! I love my parents. I just have to point out to them some behaviors that bother me. If I don't tell them, I would have to choose between living in secret (which would be almost impossible, since in this city what circulates most is gossip) or not interacting with anyone. Live like Mr. Bones. Both options don't seem fair to me. I just wish I didn't have to hide it from anyone. [[...|pouso]]

I cut the wind for a quick, head-first fall. What if I didn't spread my wings...? No! I still have love for my life too. I want to die old and not staggered from the ground after deliberately falling from a flight. I open my wings, which block the air and make me slowly descend the final meters. Soon, I was in front of my house. I went through the door. [[...|porta]]

— Good afternoon, honey. — My father said, pleasantly. As paranoid as I was, I could imagine him saying something about me getting a boyfriend right after that sentence, but luckily for me he remained silent. Now he was pulling out a piece of meat much larger than the one I ate in the morning. The piece was deposited on a stone table that I had all to myself. After that he washed his hands and set the table for him and my mother. I was already devouring my lunch, little by little leaving only the bones. My mother joined us and they ate very elaborate dishes, with leaves and other things that I couldn't eat. We all ate in silence. [["— Mom... dad..."|"— Mãe... pai..."]]

— Mom... dad... — What, dear. — My mother looked at me curiously. [["— It really upsets me that you tell me all the time that I have to get a boyfriend."|"— Me chateia muito vocês me dizendo o tempo inteiro que eu tenho que arranjar um namorado."]] [["— I don't want to have children."|"— Eu não quero ter filhotes."]] [["— I like females."|"— Eu gosto de fêmeas."]]

— It really upsets me that you tell me all the time that I have to get a boyfriend. — I don't know if I should have said it that way. - How? — My mother blinked nervously. - I don't like... — Daughter... — My father seemed worried. — You are a beautiful female dragon. Someday male dragons will notice how special you are. — It's not that, it's just... [[Tell them, tell them now!|"— Eu gosto de fêmeas."]] [["— Let it go..."|"— Deixa pra lá..."]]

— I like females <<if $r >= 2>> My parents were staring at me, my father's skin was taking on a redder tone, he was irritated. My mother cried a lot. None of them advanced, as they knew I was much stronger. But I bet if I were like them, I would have caught it. I just heard the screams, my mind was clouded, I understood almost nothing about the atrocities they were talking about. They didn't feel like the people who had taken care of me my entire life. I looked at the door again, only thinking about one thing. [[...|fuga]] <<else>> They looked disappointed. — We already knew... — My mother said, with a sad expression. My father's shoulders were slumped as he stared at a fixed point on the wall of the house. — We were just waiting for you to tell us. I wanted to cry, even though I knew my body wasn't capable of doing so. I walked closer to them, head down. My mother caressed my scales [[...|Final Bom]]<</if>>

— And I can't adopt? Adoption was still taboo in this house. I mean, all over the world. There were few people who did this. There were more human orphans than dragons. But those in smaller numbers were treated much worse, perhaps because the collective mind saw it as easy to lay an egg, and also to create a dragon. There were stories of orphaned dragons who flew away, where there was no civilization. They became savage, even devouring humans. That's why the structure of a complete family is so well regarded, to avoid this kind of thing. — But why adopt if you are a healthy dragon who can have her own offspring? — My father said, followed by my mother. — Daughter, we don't understand... [["— Let it go..."|"— Deixa pra lá..."]]

— I don't want to have children. - What did you say? — My mother looked like she had been stabbed. — I don't know... I just don't want to... — Daughter... — My father wanted to reassure me. — You're still very young, if you don't feel like it now, you will when you're a little older. — A child is the most special thing in someone's life. — My mother seemed to be referring to me, but I wasn't sure about that anymore. [["— And can't I adopt?"|"— E eu não posso adotar?"]] [["— Let it go..."|"— Deixa pra lá..."]]

—Let it go... I walk to my room and slam the door using my tail. I didn't mean to hit her hard, but that's what happened. I lay down in my nest. [[...|Final Neutro Deixou pra lá]]

I take one last look at them, hoping they will welcome me. It is not what happens. I rush out the door, almost running. I pick up speed to take flight. <<if $love >= 2>> I look down, I can see Maggie alone. What I'm going to do now is stupid, but... [[...|Maggie]] <<else>> I rise further into the sky, my scream of pain turning into a roar. I want to go far away, as far away as possible... Now I'm an orphan. [[...|Final triste]] <</if>>
