break the story

very interesting concept, but it got lost in the details, and very confusing and hazy at the end.
The description was slightly misleading, I was expecting a transfeminine main character and thatwas a main reason with the concept for buying. For all the underlying gender struggles of the characters, they were treated in a rather superficial way, and mostly only for Jordan and her sister, but not really for Tier and Baron.
There were interesting side characters, Dao and Corro and the cook, and I wished there had been more space to them, because they seemed to vanish from the screen every time Jordan and Baron had any sort of altercation.

What I liked: how the characters grappled with the fact that their childhood group/environment in which they had somehow felt safe or good, was in fact a violent gang of bullies led by a mass murderer. That a space specifically designed to be safe is actually not safe at all and has hierarchies and conditions to whom safety or support is extended. To me, this reads very much like a metaphor of queer, trans and neurodivergent spaces that pretend that everyone is somehow the same, but have the same problems as the outside world,.only that they are coated with a thick veneer of Dust.
