Telling Jack about this thread:

Lynn: ...so his daughter decides to buy one, because she feels sorry for them.
Jack: Oh, that's nice.
Lynn: It is. She's nice. I have no idea where she gets it from.

[...]

Lynn: So she's wondering if she can just let the toad outside to hunt so she doesn't have to touch bugs, and my character encourages her because he's hoping the toad will get lost or die or something before he has to explain that he lied about it being a transfigured human.
Jack: ... But that's so much worse. You're going to let her think she killed a child? Like she left a child out in the cold, all alone, to die?
Lynn: He'll buy her a kitten.
Jack: Wow. You took a terrible situation and managed to find the worst way forward.
