a diapered women chimes in

As Anna grapples with the revelation, a woman sitting across the aisle, who had been eavesdropping, leans in with a warm smile. She has a friendly demeanor, her eyes twinkling with curiosity and understanding.

"Hi there," the woman says, her tone gentle. "I couldn't help but overhear. My name is Mia. I was born and raised here on Obasaan."

Anna looks over, surprised by Mia's friendly approach. "Hi, I'm Anna," she responds hesitantly.

Mia nods, her smile widening. "I understand this must all seem very strange to you. It was probably a bit of a shock."

"You could say that," Anna replies, still trying to process everything.

Mia glances around, then leans in closer, speaking in a low voice. "Honestly, I love wearing and using diapers. It's part of who I am. Here, it's normal for us, and many of us embrace it. It provides a sense of comfort and care."

Anna's eyebrows raise in curiosity. "Really? You actually like it?"

Mia nods enthusiastically. "Absolutely. It's freeing in a way. No need to worry about finding a bathroom or any of that. Plus, it brings us closer as a community. We all look out for each other."

Anna glances around, taking in the scene with fresh eyes. The women do seem happy and carefree, chatting and laughing together. She turns back to Mia, feeling a bit more at ease. "I guess I can see that. It still feels a bit... strange to me, though."

Mia's smile remains warm and inviting. "That's perfectly understandable. It's a big change. But if you're open to it, you'll find it becomes second nature."

Just then, Mia glances nervously at the man sitting beside her. He gives her an encouraging nod, and she turns back to Anna, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Maybe my Daddy can give you one of my spare diapers? It might help you get used to the idea."

Anna blinks, taken aback by the offer. "Oh, um, I don't know..."

Mia reaches over, gently touching Anna's arm. "It's okay, really. It's just a diaper. No pressure, but it might make things a bit easier for you. Besides, you'll probably need one soon enough if you're staying here."
