I am consuming a media and you are going to hear about it

everything we learn about Susie's past in chapters 3 and 4 has me tearing my hair out in clumps because there is a woman out there who is everything she ever needed in life who would move the sky and earth for her sake but she's in the wrong universe so she's stuck with a stupid cop

"people don't trust susie because she looks scary" you know who's used to looking scary "susie is always treated like a delinquent" you know who canonically did community service for being a menace, "susie was always picked last in P.E." you know who quit her job to become a gym teacher, "they didn't let susie play the public piano because she was too rough and couldn't play well" YOU KNOW WHO CANONICALLY PUT OUT A PUBLIC PIANO AND PLAYS LIKE SHE'S FIGHTING THE KEYS AND ALSO GIVES PEOPLE PIANO LESSONS
