WARNING: this story contains graphic and descriptive scenes of murder, child abuse, suicide, themes of depression and trauma and possibly more. Please be safe and take care of yourself if you're sensitive to these things and choose to read. Thank you.

AN: not a spoiler, but the main plot will include a TON of gore. Like, a ton. This was originally written to be a straight gore-fest, and while I've added a LOT more depth, there is still gonna be a bunch of descriptive torture. Just so I'm getting my target audience lol.
