I feel actually physically in pain after reading this. My heart hurts. I feel bad for Vanessa and yet she's such a hateable character. Obviously none of them deserved what S did to them but I hated how she was rating how bad what happened to her and how bad what happened to them on a scale.. like let's not compare traumas please. I was glad she was slowly finding her peace at the end though.
