This story contains the sexual assault of a minor - non-graphic but heavily implied. This content may be triggering to some, and I encourage you to stop here if this topic has a negative impact on your mental health. As this story focuses on not only the event itself, but the aftermath and recovery of the event, it may also contain references to depression, fleeting moments of suicidal ideaology and thoughts of self-harm and the grim reality of the thoughts and feelings of a child who has been sexually abused/assaulted. I have tagged for this possibility. Reader discretion is advised!
