I do take seizure rep in books seriously (as someone who suffered from them as a child). I'm still working through this part of the book wondering if we'll get an answer for what might have triggered them.
I'm guessing it was the encounter with Dante, but while this seems intentionally disorienting for narrative, some parts feel confusing in transition.

I feel like there are moments in this narrative where it tries to address the social climb and aspirational pressures associated with being a part of higher education institutions, but then it shifts to the protag just getting carried along passively for the ride to whatever her classmates do.

Reminded in places of reading this book of "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern, probably more for the depiction of academic environments and the surreal way it moves through certain scenes. I'm still trying to figure out where it goes. (So far our protag is in a weird school with a stuffy prof.)
