Comment by justamangalover on Rusty Quadrilateral - Chapter 14

So brutally raw and honest. This story, everything that's happening... At some points, it feels too surreal, too much. Like, I ask myself after each chapter "okay, this can't possibly be happening in real life". But that just comes to show how little awareness we have of the actual horrors of life, because some people do experience all that. Some people do know what it's like to have really hit rock bottom, for each day not just to feel worse than the previous but to actually be worse... I knew this would be dark, twisted, heavily psychological, but I'm so blown away by the rawness of it all... And especially their relationship. They share such a deep connection that goes far beyond their past and their relation to the dead boy. There's a profound understanding between them, a sense of companionship and mutual respect that only two truly broken, utterly fuc***-up people could ever feel. For all the confusion and hate they might harbor for each other, they relate to one another too much to ignore. Because both of them could have given up long ago, both of them wanted to. Yet they both held on, went on another day, survived against all odds, against all reason, against all will. They see one another, and for two people who've lived so long feeling like ghosts that life itself ignores, this feeling, however strange and surreal, is incredibly precious. And this is why he couldn't killed her. This is why she stays with him. This is why they feel this pull between them that they express with s**...
This is top dark psychological romance writing in my opinion, and I'll keep believing so no matter how this ends.
