Real good bits were Epitome's thoughts on Dream:

> I think heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s using you, and her. I think he sees women as action figures, to play with and add to his collection, and I think you deserve better, than to let yourself get taken advantage of by someone whoÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a child compared to you.Ã¢â‚¬Â

And of course Bettie's rational.

> In turn, since I am an adult, I trust he will respect that, what I do, I do with my eyes open.Ã¢â‚¬Â

This does a lot to opening her up as a character one can understand and relate too.

Well done.

... But you missed another story that spotlighted Bettie's perspective:

Heavenly Bodies, or Foxglove Medicine, Apple Blossoms and Lost Girls Grown Old, by Elisabeth Ã¢â‚¬Å“BettieÃ¢â‚¬Â Barrie
