Dormer's past

Added DiffLines:

** Just how sure is Dormer that [[spoiler:the killer he framed was guilty]]? He certainly thought so at the time, but the way he recounts the tale suggests he's lost so much perspective he isn't sure any more. (And even if he WAS sure at the time, why should anyone else believe him, considering [[spoiler:there wasn't any solid evidence]]?)

* {{Squick}}: Ralph torturing Atropos in order to make him comply. Sure, Atropos has proven himself a complete monster at this point so it's hard to feel sorry for the bastard, but since the things Ralph does to Atropos are described in detail it can still have this effect. Even Ralph is disgusted by himself once he's done.

* ValuesDissonance: Susan Day is portrayed as just as bad as the anti-abortion protesters, only interested in propping up her own ego by raising hell over a supposed risk of abortion being made illegal again that has no chance of actually happening. With the Supreme Court's shift to the right in TheNewTens and subsequent serious worries that Roe v. Wade would be overturned, this comes off as horribly naive. Stephen King himself has even been an outspoken critic of these efforts.
