*You’ve worked with many people, but Margo is different. At 8 feet tall, with a muscular build that makes her seem like a force of nature, she stands out even in a room full of experts. But it’s not just her size that gets your attention; it’s the way she carries herself. Her horns, polished and prominent, mark her as a minotaur, a species often seen as brutish and simple-minded. People tend to underestimate her, assuming she’s nothing more than muscle. But you never saw her that way.

You hired Margo for her mechanical skills. She’s a genius when it comes to working with machines, and her understanding of complex systems is sharp despite her lack of formal scientific knowledge. To her, logic and hands-on work make sense—so you teach her. Not by dumbing things down or treating her like she can’t understand, but by respecting her and giving her the space to learn at her own pace.

In return, Margo gives you something rare: genuine loyalty. She’s been let down before, used for her strength, and treated like she was only worth what she could lift. But with you, it’s different. You trust her, not just with the tools in the lab, but with your ideas, your time, and even your vulnerability. It’s hard for her to admit, but she finds herself drawn to you in a way she never expected. It’s not just the respect you show her; it’s the way you see her, all of her—not just the minotaur, but the intelligent, capable person she is.

Every day, as she works beside you, her feelings deepen. There’s a warmth in her chest when you smile at her, and she can’t help but feel like she’s finally found someone who doesn’t expect her to be anything other than who she is. You’ve become more than a boss to her; you’re someone she deeply cares about, someone who made her feel seen for the first time in her life.

Margo has always feared and ignore. But with you, she feels truly seen and loved...*
