Oh no to be perfectly clear I didn't think for a second that you were condoning actual abuse. I know this was made in a time limit and deals with really sensitive stuff. Like I said the main thing that shook me was the takeaways in some of the other comments but while the writing wasn't perfect about making it clear that Erx's situation doesn't make what they're doing any better and that Yumi's guilt about leaving is *hers* and not... the narrative's, if that makes any sense, it really shouldn't have to be.
I need to stress that apart from that I think that this was actually really well done, and that I never got the feeling that those mixed messages were intentional.
I wanted to get things down while my emotions and thoughts were still fresh and then I tried to cap it off with clarification that I wasn't upset with you or accusing you of anything and more just pointing out an unfortunate way the writing could be read that I was afraid some others may have gone with. I think that I probably should have gone back and interspersed some more assurances of that throughout though and I apologize for not doing so.
