Tear Jerker / The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter

• Pretty much any scene involving Leslie's painful childhood, from being mercilessly whipped and scolded for even the most asinine of misdemeanors to almost dying from being thrown into a fire pit. Is it any wonder the Salvators, and by extension the audience, want to give this poor girl a hug?
• Leslie's first visit to the Salvator residence involves being handed some sweet tea after she waited outside in freezing temperatures for hours. Her hands are still so cold that she accidentally drops the cup and panics, tearfully trying to clean up. For such a simple accident in most other circumstances, it speaks volumes of her treatment by her biological family.
