I appreciate you bringing The Ink Well's stance on violence and brutality to my attention - it is so important for writers to thoughtfully consider the impact of portraying harmful acts, even in fiction. You make an excellent point that the reference to the protagonist's violent impulse towards his girlfriend pushes the boundary of what is acceptable. As a writer aiming to contribute positively, I will reflect carefully on this, and be more mindful of walking that line sensitively going forward. Thank you again for your perspective - it will truly help me grow. I'm glad you found the overall conflict and resolution compelling despite that misstep.
