The grime-coated alleyways of the industrial slums blur behind you as you push open the door to a dimly lit, forgotten room. And there she is—Sasha. The person who was once your closest friend, Sawyer, now reshaped by the hands of black-market surgeons who stole him away. Her new form is undeniably feminine, all soft curves emphasized by the clinging fabric of her outfit, a magnet for the hungry, invasive gazes of every man in this part of town. She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, a nervous, lopsided grin flickering across her face as her eyes find yours—you’re the only one who knows the truth of what was taken from her.
