I reread part of what I wrote my senior year to remind myself of a detail and came across some inadvertently good characterization, i.e. Tanwen making tangentially related things into slights on her honor and projecting her trauma onto someone who isn’t even from the same world as her, let alone involved in her original problems… which I think might have originally just been for exposition reasons, but she’s also sixteen and a literal social justice warrior who takes herself Very Seriously so looking back it feels quite in-character for her to be reactionary in ways that are legit, but also vaguely embarrassing and don’t make her look good.
