At the end of the hour Karyn-Jon suddenly gasped again. She felt her vision dim again. When he could see again Jon looked over at Karyn and had a sudden feeling of wrongness, like he was still in the wrong body.
"What did you do to me?" he asked.
"I made you believe that you were me trapped in your body and forced to act like the real Jon by a wish," Karyn said.
"No, I get that, but I...I was you."
"No, you were only acting like me. Actually, you were acting like how you think I think you act to be exact, which was weird to see."
Jon shook his head. He strained to remember the last hour and realized he had no actual memories of life as Karyn prior to the swap, just the sudden intense knowledge that he was her and that he was in a boy's body. But it all felt so real, he thought, and still does. The feelings of wrongness and ungainliness in his body didn't seem to be fading with the remembrance of his true self.
"You mean this was all just me acting?" he asked. "Whoa, that wasn't exactly what I meant when I asked you to change something about me, but that might have even been better. Here, give me the stone, I want to try something."
"Ok, Jon, but remember we have to try to fix my...ahem, enhancements, too." Karyn handed Jon the stone and watched as he stepped into the closet.
