“Chapter 5: Pages 87-111”
We’re back in Meri’s internal monologue and it’s giving: emotional avoidance with a side of spiritual martyrdom. While Meri fixates on betrayal from Janelle, Kody, and life itself - we noticed a deeper pattern: a woman piling on challenges not to grow, but to outrun the void. We dig into Meri's feud with Janelle, fertility grief, identity crises, and the Biggie Housie that somehow only magnified her invisibility. Just when things couldn’t get more complicated, it's Robyn to the rescue as the emotional duct tape for everyone’s relationship problems.
