This story is a lot less dark than fics I've previously written haha, but there still are a few things I'd like to mention:
(1) A lot of the story describes a PTSD flashback (including the panic-related physical symptoms, dissociation/derealization/depersonalization, & the utter fear) in a detailed way. This is based on my own personal experiences with flashbacks tbh-
(2) The trauma in question relates to violence/threat of violence. It involves a childhood home invasion by an estranged family member of Cecil's who's been terrorizing his family, & said family member threatens & acts as though he's going to kill him & also threatens his family, while his family is helpless & terrified, unable to help him. There's no graphic violence, but just wanted to list those in case they're triggering for anyone :)
(3) Cecil experiences some brief feelings of self-loathing in regards to the event/his mental health afterwards.
