There's something unsettling about Soren and I don't know why. Like even knowing he's crazy, he acts like a completely normal guy here, but not quite normal enough to not come off as creepy. And MC being the type to put herself down and wonder if this is the best she can get... Yea, I can see how this is going to turn into a mess once Soren goes mask off. Props to you for writing a convincing set up for abuse.
