‘“First of all, I didn’t rape anyone. Those women made their own decisions—” Henry’s defense was quickly drowned out by everyone’s groans.’

Oh god

‘“I just said I’m not pro-torture!” Yaritza huffed. “I’m just stating facts, okay? El bacà is a Haitian spirit. One that can only be controlled by Haitians. They use it to protect their property. Naomi is Haitian, literally from Haiti, so obviously—”
