“No, abuse is ongoing. Assault isn’t. A violent man can assault many different people and either get arrested or get away with it. With abuse, the victim is always the significant other or a child.

Any one of the abused can ask to go to a Sarran and if the charge is true, the Sarrans will take them back to their home world.”
