I just remembered a book from my childhood and one of the protagonists was a very sweet, traumatized kid and by the end of the book he was an absolutely awful, mentally unstable drug dealer.
Like… I was rooting for him in the beginning and it was such a slow and believable progression of events that I completely forgot about what he was like before essentially becoming a horrible person everybody wanted dead lol.
Ngl the fact that I barely even acknowledged the change before rereading the book made me interested in if there’s anything similar to that out there. It really showed me a perspective on how a series of bad choices / situations can lead to a horrible outcome.
