The research . . . muh. I don't want to say explicitly because it's a ways off yet and I don't want to spoil my first reader here. Basically, it's -- I know that a certain set of traumatic events are going to happen to this set of characters, and so I need to do research on the particular manifestations of those events (like when I was researching a venom and working out what would happen with someone poisoned with that venom) so as to present them believably and accurately.

I'm finding the research a bit distressing.
