3.5

In this volume of the series I think we finally get enough backstory filled in that the character of Alex Versus is now a tangible thing.  He is flawed, but above that, he is a survivor.

Minor: Rape

Rape not directly mentioned but alluded to in the past of a distant character. Also threatened to a side character as a part of a memory sequence.
