TW- mentions of r*pe and abuse
The fact that Grayson was punished the second time he abused Jean haunts me.
Because the thing is, Grayson was being punished for ignoring consent. But It wasnt Jean's consent he was being punished for ignoring, It was Riko's.
The first time, Riko had allowed It, so this meant Grayson could do whatever he wanted. But the second time, right after the christmas Neil spent at Evermore, Grayson did It without being allowed to. So he and Zane were punished.
This is so horrible because It is meant to do more than showing that in that space Jean's consent doesnt matter. This is meant to be a clear sign of ownership. Riko owns Jean, so the consent that matters is Riko's.
It is so disturbing, but such an insight on the Nest's inner workings. Sometimes It keeps me awake at night.
