Aziza was torn. The simplest thing to do would be to trace Regina's path through the inter-dimensional space and follow her, although Regina might be annoyed to see Aziza on her vacation. In any event that left the question of what to do with Kylie. Aziza was worried about bringing Kylie into a world with its own version of the Glendale curse. If the curse managed to activate the now-dormant "evil sorceress" personality, (sleeping beside the original "bitter incel" while the "fun-loving pothead lesbian" was ascendant) that could be a huge disaster, particularly if it happened while Aziza was away from her home dimension, in a place her magic was weaker. Of course, many worlds, most of them, lacked the Glendale curse, but you could never be sure unless you were actually there, and then it might be too late.
But she obviously couldn't leave Kylie blundering around Regina's house either.

Barry--unlike many people in Ty's new world--kept the same name in male and female form. Before the liberation, as it was referred to, he had been male, an ex-college football player who, while not being an asshole about it had enjoyed being the biggest, strongest man in the room and the attention from women that brought. He had never thought he would be interested in experiencing life as a woman. Then he had gotten into a conversation about science with a quiet, nerdy Chinese American man. There was something really intriguing about the man's enthusiasm, and Barry found himself drifting into sexual fantasies. But usually when he had sexual feelings about a man, they focused on somehow persuading that man to take on female form. With a shock, Barry realized that he was actually attracted to the idea of making love to this man as a woman. As his body slowly changed, the conversation morphed into a date.
It was a strange relationship, though. Barry continued to pursue his vigorous sex life as a man with women in the lengthy intervals between Reece's visits. Very seldom did he adopt female form when Reece wasn't around, and he didn't find other men attractive the same way. And Reece never explained where he lived or what he did.
The chimes rang for the new year, and Barry and her mysterious boyfriend kissed.
