Authors Note

This chapter was a difficult one to write as I'm from the UK and the transgender community is targeted a lot here I hope this will bring them justice. Nicole Maines who plays Nia has been through so much and is still bringing hope to those who need it I hope one day everyone will be ok there won't be so much hate.
