The ability to fuse human and robot had grown immensely over the last several centuries. It wasn’t uncommon for people to replace parts of their body piece-by-piece with robot elements.
On the positive side, it allowed for people to achieve their ideal bodies. Xan may have been born a man, but he had always felt like a woman. The robot parts he bought for himself certainly reflected that, and he was happier about his body than he could ever remember.
On the other side, this process wasn’t cheap. Xan had done as much as he could afford so far, but he still had quite a way to go until he was was done. To help get himself there faster, he had been working two weeks without a break. Even forgoing things like eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom (none of which his mostly robotic needed, though the features could be turned on). It allowed him to earn faster.
Was non-stop work with no rest really the life he dreamed of when he had thought of himself as a woman?
