P-tan:
The funny thing is that while I live in the East of the USA, I'm now sleeping during the night of timezones in the East, such as where Japan is. When I sleep changes all of the time.

I'm not stopping anyone from making their own captions in the universe. ;p

In part, it was some of what I had to cut back, because I didn't really know how to include it in the flow of things with the perspective and pace that I was using. Basically, at the end I pointed out the differences before and after entering the tub, to reveal why Harmony may have come to the decision to have him use the oddly-shaped tub (which has the symbolic shape of a woman). I was trying to express how some people can really bog themselves down, especially about things that they can't change about themselves, so they end up needing an outside source to pull them out where they can't climb out themselves. The difference between two people having a chance to reach medical attention in time, to treat a fatal wound, could come down to how they feel about the situation. If one thinks that he's a goner and resigns himself to death, then his only hope will likely be someone that manages to reach him before it's too late. On the other hand, if someone doesn't give up, either they'll reach where they need to go in time, or they'll shorten the distance if what they're after is also reaching out for them.
Like I had said, writing it had been painful. It was sort of personal, too, I admit. While there was a definite MtF TF, the main focus was the literal and symbolic (I'm not sure if that's the word that I'm looking for) relief from themselves without killing who they were. It was merely changing a few choice feelings and perceptions, revolving around relaxation, and I thought that the tub was a good medium for that. The shape of the tub wasn't hard to notice, so I figured that tossing in a transformation would be expected. ;p
So him becoming a female was more an effect of circumstance than anything else, partly due to the fact that I had wanted the tub to have come from Nekkid Inc. or something like that, where, in my wanderings, I make the tub for her after an encounter. Of course, I couldn't really see a good way to put that in there, either. ^_^;
It's kind of my way of saying that I'd like to make changes like that, if I could, because, in this world, where a lot of people have reached a point where they cripple themselves, many of them aren't fortunate enough to have the sort of people required, or even an environment, to help them get back to a point where they can help themselves. Even official venues of aid are more likely to be no more than an indifferent acquaintance that tosses pills at you and generally make a living off of your suffering. People don't need that. People need Nekkid's tub. ;p Comes in different shapes and sizes. (Product placement. ;p)

What had your first grade teacher done? Dress you up in something girly when you dirtied the clothes you came to school in? :O Well, it sounded possible, anyway. ;p
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned because only women can give two tits for every tat.
