[ID: a traditionally sketched comic about duck. the first panel shows the back of duck’s head, looking at the amnesty lodge, as he says, “m’ names duck newton. well, it’s more of a nickname.” the next panel shows aubrey, wearing a sweatshirt in the trans pride colors and waving with a smile as duck continues, “it may as well be my name. legally, it’s not.” the next panel shows the top of duck’s head and an ID with the name scribbled out as he continues, “it may as well be.” the next panel shows a younger duck, with longer hair and part of his face scribbled out, sitting at a table with a birthday cake. he says, “I haven’t been,” and then a name that is scribbled out, “in a long, long… long time.” 

the next panel shows duck looking into a mirror. the reflection in the mirror is his younger self, with longer hair and the face scribbled out. duck says, “some days, i feel like i’m back then. i know i’m not. trauma’s a bitch.” the final panel shows duck from the front, wearing his ranger’s uniform with a small trans flag pin and a gay flag pin on the front of it. he’s smiling slightly as he says, “those days come less often now.” END ID]
