The Past Fades, I Fly Far Away

Synopsis

"Ms. Taylor, are you sure you want to change your name? If you do, you'll have to update your education records and passport," the staff member said. I nodded. "Yes, I'm sure." The staff member kept persuading me. "Changing your name as an adult is pretty troublesome, and your original name sounds really nice. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" "No, I've made up my mind." I signed the name change consent form. "Thank you for your help." "Okay, so the name you want is Dorothy Taylor, right?" "Yes." Now that I had taken the new name Dorothy, I was leaving this place behind for good. This was my plan for my future.
