All those people who argued that what is going on in the story isn't abuse -- surely they can't deny this is straight up assault. Sure, they can argue Doc Dan might have "signed up" for the job, but nowhere did he agree to what happened in this chapter. Being put on display and humiliated like that without consent - Jeebus. I've been holding out hope for some iota of development, but this is getting ridiculous. If Dan finds out about what happened and what was said about him being a possession, and he doesn't run, then my suspension of disbelief cannot be sustained. No one as nice and kind as Doc Dan is going to let this go on. If he doesn't stand up for himself at some point, then there is no use in reading any further.
