in the 2nd book the main character's maid was assaulted by another character. afterwards the characters talked of reporting the incident but the victim decided not to and the other abided by her decision.

at the time i remembered thinking it was well handled and being surprised it had been included and impressed that it even featured a discussion between the character regarding the consequences (both good and bad) of reporting the crime

its such a difficult topic to broach even in REALITY and it was treated well

but also like it hurts that this is still something people need to talk about and god i know there aren't content warnings for media and i guess i worry about the girls reading it who may not have been ready for such a topic to feature in the plot

I remember when they reached this point in Mark Reads, people were angry with Kel for feeling guilty because it's not about her.
but like of course she'd feel guilty, she's Kel.

buri coming to talk to her in the snow is one of my favorite scenes in a book I like very much.
