Thank you for reading that chapter.

I know I will probably lose a considerable amount of fans for what I have just written, but I am willing to lose them in order to provide a pivot point in the story.

The only reason I posted the last chapter was to provide a pivot point for the rest of the story. For example, an, "Oh, my daddy punched me in the tummy" probably wouldn't be enough to initiate the conflict the rest of the story needs in order to realistically get into its conclusion. But something such as... the last chapter... definitely would spur something necessary.

The following will just be a rant. If you don't want to hear it, please proceed to the next chapter (Chapter 15).

And now, a word to the people Fanfiction, Deviantart, Archive of Our Own, etc. who make illicit ships, such as incest ships, pedophilia ships, and overly graphic ships that do not contain a reason to be graphic. Even if you do not make such ships in any fandom, I'd still like you to read this. Since Undertale is the closest fandom to this, I'll use it as an example.

Ships such as Frisk x Sans, Frisk x Papyrus, and Frisk X Mettaton normalize pedophilia. Ships such as Sans x Papyrus normalize incest. These ships need to be recognized as pedophilia and incest and are not okay in any respect. In real life, relationships such as these are not glamorous. They're not sexually alluring. They're not "turn-ons". They're not worthy of "playful smut". They're as they were in the last chapter... horrible, violent, and traumatic, decimating innocence and childhood and leaving nothing behind.

I hope that last chapter was an eye-opener to the reality of such ships and the poison they whisper into text, into media, and ultimately into young, easily moldable minds.

And I hope that last chapter does provide a good pivot point as this story progresses.

Again, thank you.

Please proceed to the next chapter.
