Y’all really like to forget that Nicky went through conversion therapy and Aaron conquered severe addiction and Matt was willing to sleep on the couch of people he didn’t even know if it meant remaining sober and dan was forced to sleep in class bc she worked all night to support herself and her family and Allison literally starved herself to avoid gaining muscle when she started playing exy. These characters that come off as “normal” in the books have gone through hardships and come out the other side stronger and don’t forget about everything they’ve been through just bc their lasting trauma isn’t as obvious as the others
