A Wyrm for Weaver - Chapter 4

I have a slightly larger chapter for you all today. I've been reducing some of my meds and it appears to be helping with my production for now. I also had a bit more luck getting uninterrupted writing time.
I thought I would give some background on how this story got started. I was reading Worm (https://parahumans.wordpress.com/) fanfiction and ran across this thread.
This appealed to me because Taylor Hebert is socially isolated by the bullying campaign that resulted in her Triggering, and in many ways it all went downhill from there. Wildbow was effective in capturing her emotional state to the degree that I felt bloody awful for her. In many ways it was worse because she literally had no one on her side. My wife and I were both bullied in school, so it's easy to empathize with her.
One incomplete story mentioned in that thread is "I have no idea what I'm doing" by Nemesis13. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing.937638/
It's incomplete, but the idea of a crazy protective boyfriend hell-bent on righting some wrongs made me laugh out loud. It was also nice to see glimpses of how Taylor's character changed because she wasn't trapped in a social vacuum.
Then I thought of who would be an even worse offender... and my Muse kicked me in the back of the head.
