How can they crave or be so sad over not having pussy if they've never had it before? How do they know they don't like men?

Imagine if meade was in fact abused by a certain person who now calls himself 'c---by'. That person, now guilt-ridden but still fond of meade, becomes his mentor. But of course always gives mead bad advice and misplaced encouragement in order to keep him poor, unsupported, and dependent.


Meade's nightmares and hallucinations might stem from such abuse.
