AN: This is the script to a comic that I'm working on. All are my own characters. This will have songs and poems the characters obviously will say. Reminder: there WILL be very graphic scenes, including non-consented sex and touching. Please be mature as you come across these parts. There will be depressing and anxiety issues in sooner scenes so please take this as a serious warning and be careful. I am still working on the characters and their personalities. And as always readers, enjoy!
