Grandma's secret: From Sugar Daddy to Old Lady

Seiko

Seiya, we need to talk. Now.

Seiya

Still the same dramatic Seiko. Some things never change, do they?

Momo

(What are they talking about? Sugar baby?)

Seiko

You think you can just waltz back in here after I transitioned?

Seiko

I gave you everything when you had nothing!

Seiya

And I loved who you were - male, female, doesn't matter!

Seiya

But you shut me out completely! You think I wanted to marry that chubby Usagi or have a daughter like Chibi? She looks at me weird.

Momo

Grandma or should I say Grandpa?

Seiko

(She heard everything...)

Seiya

Looks like the real conversation is just beginning, Seiko.

Seiya

Remember this, Seiko? The man who paid my tuition, bought me that motorcycle...

Seiya

The man who taught me what real strength felt like.

Seiko

That was a lifetime ago. I'm not him anymore!

Seiya

But those hands, that grip... I still dream about it.

Seiko

Stop it! Those days are over!

Momo

(This is too much... I can't...)

Ken

(Why am I getting flustered...?)

Seiya

Look at him. Look at who you used to be.

Seiko

Put that away! Please...!

Momo

I don't know who you are anymore...

Ken

(Momo...)

Seiya

Just one more time. Let me feel that strength again.

Seiko

I... I can't... My body's changing...

Seiko

(My face is burning... Why does he still have this effect on me?)

Seiko

Ken, take Momo. Get her out of here.

Ken

Momo, come on. We should go.

Momo

Grandma... no, Grandpa... Whoever you are... Don't do this!

Seiko

Some doors close forever, Momo. This is one of them.

Seiya

(Finally... after all these years.)

Momo

(I don't know any of them anymore...)

Seiko

(This smoke tastes like all my regrets...)

Momo

(She looks so different from the grandma I knew...)

Seiko

I knew you'd come eventually. Sit. Eat before it gets cold.

Momo

Why didn't you tell me? All those years... calling you grandma...

Seiko

When your real grandmother died, I was her husband. I took her name, her role, everything. You were just a baby. My name used to be Seiji.

Seiko

Seiya was a young man I was having an affair with. He didn't take my transition well and married some chubby high schooler.

Momo

But I'm your granddaughter. That has to count for something, right?

Seiko

You're the only thing that kept me going. When I lost everything - my wife, my identity, my past - you were my fresh start.

Momo

(She's still the same person... just more layers than I knew.)

Ken

(Sometimes family isn't about blood... it's about who chooses to stay.)

Seiko

Seiya wants to drag me back to who I was. Last night I showed him why I'm top dog. Momo, Seiya is your step grandad. (Momo groans)
