introduction: Russell Vogel insists that Stefan Riley isn’t dead. Everyone he knows thinks his search is an obsession. But there’s something about his funeral and suicide note that doesn’t make sense. When his search leads him to Dorley Hall, residents and intakes alike must face the demons they’ve created. As with most Dorley stories, this will cover some dark topics. It includes but is not limited to psychological and physical torture, dysphoria, non-consensual surgery and body alteration, and kidnapping. It is not, however, intended to be a dark story in its own right. Additional content warnings may apply to individual chapters when relevant.
