Chap. 5, pg. 9: Helps
Learning moment from this page: Nothing worth mentioning. Mainly trying to forgive myself for that nightmare of an easel.
This is the page where Jona finds out all the rules are arbitrary and shitty. Up til now, it was kinda like “well… maybe there’s like a logic to why women have to be wives or mothers to get a solemn. Like, somewhere. Logic.” ……don’t know if this page lands without better worldbuilding, which is def on the ‘to do’ list. Thanks for reading this far.
Update notification: There won’t be new pages 5/18-25th. We’ll be back to normal after that though.
Damn… that Saira story was so hard hitting.
And yeah, it really feels like it’s hitting Jona hard here that… these rules are arbitrary and stupid, and it’s just about having to what, prove yourself worthy over and over every day of your life forever just to get the same thing the men get easily?
