What began as a nightmare on a dark road ends here, in the place where Brooklyn's Mother Line was born, where it has always known how to finish what men start.

Content warnings: gun violence; sexual harassment and coercion; domestic abuse including bodily violation; misogynistic hate speech; themes of political authoritarianism and gender-based state violence drawn directly from current events. Please take care of yourself.
