HOOOOOLYYYY SHIT HOLY SHIT this was insane??? THAT ENDING???? this harbors soooo much raw visceral rage for the government, for gender roles, and for people that have caused these characters so much trauma. anyway PLEASE overthrow the government! it's okay if there's a little murder, a sprinkling of patricide! but ffs do your due diligence on the history of the species you've made it your whole life goal to annihilate.
