WHAT WAS THE REASON??!!
There was no end game. It was just a loose collection of sexual deviance and proclivities within the land of the rich and with characters who think they've taken their trauma and turned it into power.
I feel like Emezi was testing her literary darling status by writing this. The yt girlies can put out trash and aimless empty stories and get lauded, so they were like why not me?
