I'm going to straight up and say this, guys: Infrared is a complicated story. It touches on darker themes and is meant to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. I wouldn't call this a trigger chapter but a chapter where I tell you what to expect as you work through the book. With fanfiction, I tend to put darker twists on the franchise to which the fanfiction belongs because Dark Fantasy is my specialty.

  So here are only a few of the themes I've included in this story:

  - Grief, loss, and how it may affect a child (yes, I consider a sixteen-year-old a child).

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  - Fear is a very human-like emotion, but it's also one of the most dangerous. You have to learn to be brave (this story contains a subtle message about abuse and trauma, but it's not very graphic).

  - Friendship and why friends are so important when someone is grieving.

  - The journey to acceptance is difficult, but one day, it will happen. You'll never forget your loved one, but you will be able to finally move on with your life.

  - Betrayal of a family member and their impact on the ones who love them.

  - Robots don't have to be robots. They can be human, too.

  - Not every love story has to be the same.

  - P.S. there are three pretty intense scenes in this book: one in Chapter XIV, one in Chapter Q, and one in Chapter S, so just be prepared.
