This chapter delves deeper into Christian's psyche (as if any of us wanted that) and my conclusion is that he's basically an overgrown manchild who cannot take responsibility for himself. Yay! Meanwhile, Ana is starting to normalize the toxicity of her relationship to Christian, which is....not great!

Content warnings for this chapter: poor communication; extensive discussion of abusive/toxic relationship; normalization of abusive behavior; jealousy/possessiveness; child abuse/grooming mention; toxic monogamy; codependency; controlling behavior; vague threats of physical violence.
