Bruno saw that things did not go well for Maestro. The former gorilla kept frowning at the clothes and at his former environment. The cage was now holding a smallish male gorilla that used to be Damon. Damon, that seemed quite unhappy with his fate. Bruno could understand the immense change that this must be for Maestro.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
"Not really," Maestro said. "I miss being a gorilla. I was... innocent, you know? It was a simple life, with simple needs. I did not need to worry about so many things. Now, it's unpleasant and confusing. I want to be a gorilla again. I was happy at humping a female, and from now on, things will be extremely complicated. Too complicated."
"I see," said Bruno softly.
The young man picked up the monkey paw and handed it to Maestro.
"Here's your solution. Just wish away your way back to who you were before."
Maestro took the paw.
"You can add extras," said Bruno with a small smile.
Maestro stared at the grim object and then a finger folded. Instantly, he disappeared and Maestro the gorilla was back in the enclosure. But he was not in front of another male gorilla. He was in front of a female gorilla, one that looked upon him with great, great fright. Damon, who was now the female gorilla. The same that Chad had been.
"Looks like Maestro got his wish," smiled Bruno.
