This really pushed some visceral emotional buttons for me. It was probably one of the most uncomfortable stories I've read in a long time. The relationship between the two main characters hit so very close to home as to be anxiety inducing. I haven't yelled (in my head) at fictional characters in a very long while and I found myself doing that throughout. This was so relatable, and despite being so uncomfortable, it was also very, very good.
