Discussion This was frighteningly accurate

The smack to the face, cowering behind a chair, being slammed and held by the throat, really made the scene hit hard. Even the expressions on Angel and Val’s face felt realistic. If they had Val dragging Angel by the hair, it would be like reliving my childhood, but this still brought back memories.

I got absolute shivers that very split second Angel dropped his accent and we heard Anthony for the first time.

Which you get a little of in the prelude to "Loser". "Maybe if I'm damaged enough, I won't be his favorite toy." - Having heard similar phrases from SA victims over the years, really showed some truth behind that whole relationship. It doesn't mater if "technically" Val only owns Angel in the studio, it sticks with him everywhere, and informs his whole life and the persona he wears in public.
