I've been reading "A Prison, A Body" by gargulec.
https://readonlymind.com/@gargulec/aprisonabody/
I'm still not done, but... it's hitting me. So hard. Trans girl Rowan sells herself in indentured dronification for two years while her best friend Helen gets left behind and tries to figure out why she did it.
And yes, it has the chapters you'd expect. But before that. We stick with Helen. And she can't work out why anyone would do this.
I'm still trying to gather my thoughts, but...
I'm more like Rowan.
