Oh this was a delightful knife to the gut!
I really enjoyed how Dahlia's facial blindness means the lack of sprites puts us more directly in her perspective, and how that subjects us to the same power imbalance and manipulation that she experiences with Ivy. I think back on all the times Ivy tells us she's smiling and my skin crawls a little wondering if she ever really was, or if there was something behind the smile we never got the chance to see. Pretty much everything Ivy says is wonderfully vile in retrospect, actually.
And I love the juxtaposition of Brad and Ivy with how both take advantage of Dahlia- Brad treating her as a woman with force and aggression, but Ivy treating her as a man with lies and manipulation. Brad's abuse is much more direct and obvious, but that's exactly what makes Dahlia's so much more horrifying. And it just breaks my heart to see Dahlia wanting to connect through music and kindness but consistently objectified by the people around her.
Great job, and congrats on the win!
