I don’t blame Molly one bit I would avoid that watering hole at all costs. Plus if i were the town leader i would’ve kicked Bluepool out a long tIme ago... I mean who wants essence of merman in their drinking water? even if he is cute!
Yes, rewarding rapists for rape is bad. Good on Bai for pointing that out, though I do recall her asking Molly before why she didn’t just ‘give him a chance’.
