Nimbus didn’t have much time for a social life at the moment. The daily experimentations at the lab caused hir to be late for hir own dinner sometimes. No girlfriend, no real friends at all if shi were being honest. The trials that the Canmephians, the alien race that were becoming increasingly popular in the world, had hir running were constantly evaluated and then re-evaluated sometimes four times over. All of this left little time for a social life, not that Nimbus minded. It provided an income and really that was all that mattered to the dragon at the moment. Well, that and the health of her friends and family.
Shi did have a roommate, though. And his story was a little bit tragic. His name was Lou and Lou was transgender. Male to female, though he still used the male pronouns due to his family. His family had kicked him out the year before due to his gender dysphoria. He was left homeless until Nimbus found him, took him home and then they became fast roommates and friends. Lou even got a job and eventually helped pay half the rent even though he didn’t have to.
But the one thing troubling him was being transgender. Well, not that it was troubling but that Lou wouldn’t do anything about it out of fear. Nimbus and Lou would get into arguments over yet always ended making up rather quickly and becoming fast friends again.
The day before had been no different. But this time, Nimbus had had a plan. Shi had made Lou promise to take a special pill. Yes, shi had told Lou what was inside of it and what it would do, but shi made him take it.
“Lou! I’m back after work did you eat yet?”
“Yeah, Ni. Right after I took that pill you told me to take.”
“Good! I’ll start the process then.”
