This one deeply affecting, not only for the violence so carefully implied, but for the blithe disengagement of a friend who brought and continues to bring her out-of-control pets into other pet lover’s lives. She seems to be a heartless as well as irresponsible. We like your characters, but this one gets hackles up every time she barges in to the story.
she's not heartless but she is not emotionally well balanced and her internal chaos has bled out into other people's lives in ways she still doesn't totally get. or maybe she does but feels guilty and awkward about it and so doesn't do the needful. the real needful is adding less chaos but i think that's where the true imbalance lies. maybe she's better. i don't know, i stopped speaking to her after a less damaging incident than this one. enough was enough. i hated that, because she was a really, really good friend to me and went out of her way to help me when i needed it. but this was crossing a line that can't be uncrossed.
