Rivers Solomon is EXTREMELY good at what they do and the fact that you both know where this is going and wonder whether the distractions are real or distractions the whole time anyway is a testament to the craft.
So much of this story breaks my rules for what constitutes horror I can handle and this is right at the edge, but it's also amazing and the way that Solomon weaves God-talk and the rawness of being human into the story is beautiful.

I was also fascinated by the choice to take the desire to prosecute out of Ezri's hands; it felt both wrong and right and seemed like Solomon, rather than avoiding the problem of prosecution, was acknowledging how fraught it is and gently had the narration take the choice away from the character.
