It seems class reunions were just as tiresome 120 years ago as they are now.

John was almost certainly sexually assaulted while he was unconscious (at the very least his trousers were removed), but it's all played for laughs.

Laszlo is genuinely insightful when it comes to others, but not so aware of his own issues, or respectful of boundaries.

Yeah, John's assault and how it was treated really bothered me too, orange swan.
