Added the Dead Dove tag and erotic electrostimulation tags - mostly because this chapter is perhaps a bit too real and raw in places. There’s going to be justification for doing morally bad things (by human standards), because frankly a character can’t be awful and deplorable (and think that this is totally fine and right to do because that is how their culture is) without showing it. The author, of course, does not justify such a mindset.

We get some zardak, shendak, and not full on uliro but it’s nice by the end. Sendak for all intents and purposes, aside from manipulation mode, could be described as caring. Could. He has a very twisted way caring for things which is a nightmare to write, and why this chapter has taken so long.
