Monica still thought that her friend's decision to become a male minotaur was insane. But at least Ashley was making big decisions about life! At least Ashley wasn't afraid of change! What was Monica doing? Her job was unstimulating, her relationships mediocre at best. And, given the cheapness of regeneration technology, she could be going on with this life for a long, long time.
Ashley was Monica's closest friend, but she wasn't at all sure that that friendship would transfer over to Ashley as a big, hairy, and above all male beast. So she might be losing that as well. Maybe it was time to make a change.
There was a possibility she had always fantasized about. Maybe it was time to make that fantasy a reality. . .
