this story actually captures the essence of religious indoctrination pretty well. ch 19 completely broke me the absolute emotional rollercoaster of realizing your feelings of affection immediately turning into sheer horror and shame. no one's first instinct upon realizing they like someone should be to pray and repent. no love is unholy, no lover is a sinner. if loving someone is a sin in your religion, be a sinner proudly with your head held high.
