PRECAUTIONS
This work contains multiple off-putting themes such as kidnapping, suicidal tendencies, growing up too fast, physical and emotional abuse, poor judgement, unfit guardianship, and multiple more.
Vivid but never graphic details of abuse is used to capture the way in which Mariah has normalized her situation while still recognizing the truth.
Gerard is a complex abuser, perhaps a bit too psychotic but terrifying nevertheless; he himself was abused, and the logic of how his own past has shaped his present and his treatment of Mariah never falters.
Choosing Gerard's next victim does not provide a re-entry into empathy, but more-so a selfish way to get one person out of something, not just freeing themselves but ruining others, as well.
