Content Warning: Systemic social compliance and extremism shown through body horror, addiction, recovery, and amputation.

In my previous post on monday, we discussed Chapter 4 of Blush Born titled “Coloring with Kittens.” We got to witness Jethran as he discovered uses for this new power that is growing inside him when he subdued the lioness. And I explained how that translates into my own journey of struggle and surviving with addiction and recovery that nearly cost me my life. In today's post we're going to be discussing chapter 5, where Jethran encounters a group of people who help him remove what society says is a flaw. Immediately following will be a breakdown and some discussion prompts.
