Oh dear this is just perfection! Connor here is awesome, and very Connor! Haytham, Arrrggghhh, I just want to give him a big hug!
I think there's one thing must be said as to how good author!anon is: I basically skipped any part that involved bodily or psychological cruelty (like the tongue, and using the Apple on Haytham), because it's just brutal...
I'll probably wait a bit longer for a more positive plot twist to continue reading it. But Geez! Well done!
