Transgressions, and in particular Vect's story, were both always meant to be a telling of radical self-expression in the face of fascism, oppression, and societally enforced repressive expectations. Vect, as a character, was always meant to be defiant to the last. Perhaps out of spite, perhaps more out of love for those in her life. Maybe both. Her's is the lot to look up from the ground, bloodied and beaten, and ask her assailant "Is that all you've got?"

She never gives up.

The author, however, is not so resilient. I made Vect because I needed her.

But in this moment, she feels a world away. Impossible.

Giving up, it turns out, feels so necessary.
