Description

The two main characters were raped by their father as young children. This is described in detail numerous times through flashbacks and is a key plot point. One of the characters gets so high she basically immobilized and the man she is with initiates sex. She consented but she was not in the proper mental or physical state to. One of the characters desires to have a romantic/sexual relationship with one of her teachers. He then flirts with her back and even invites her to his house. It is implied that he wants to take things further but feels it would be wrong and he stops before anything can happen between them.
