- Sexual Harassment/Abuse
- Rape Tones (there is no rape and the sexual abuse stops at kissing but I do feel the need to include this because Laurens has thoughts and ... yea ... Laurens)
- Manipulative Behavior
- Laurens
This took longer because I literally had to stop at least three times and wash my hands. On one hand, I made the disgusting character. But on the other, you guys voted for him. So which of us is really to blame here?

Oh, wow. Thank you for writing this. I imagined this a bit too vividly 🤣 It is disturbing, but inside I will surely remember next time I read Lauren’s name in the text. To me, it gives his name a certain “feel” now.

I went into this knowing Laurens is a despicable person, and still somehow managed to be surprised by the extent. The way he perceives things and his general thought process makes me shiver. And I feel so much for Tahani. I hope she can rest peacefully, she didn’t deserve that 😭 Ignoring that, I do have to mention that I very specifically loved the imagery towards the start of the chapter. And the little peek into the wetlands was interesting to me. I dunno, I think I just really love reading about scenery. It’s the one thing I’m always drawn to in writing - I like reading about areas and how a writer can make them feel alive. I’m also interested in the different types of basilisk - I don’t know why I never really considered there were different kinds. I guess it never really crossed my mind. Either way, it was cool to learn. Anyway, I feel like I need to go take a shower. Maybe two. Listen to happy music.
