I don't even know what to write. This chapter hurt me so much, but in the best way. It's fascinating to read about how much Percival misreads situations to make them it into something he knows. Newt doesn't eat meat? Being a vegetarian in those times was probably something unheard of, so Percival's brain comes with the most possible explanation: Newt must have done something wrong. What is the last wrong thing that had happened? Niffler stealing Percival's cuff-links. Goodness, this is so sad. But the thing that pained me the most when Percival thought that he was there for his husbands to unload their anger on him. Someone save Percival, please.
I hope that Theseus and Newt were talking about Percival behaves. Theseus is an Auror after all; even if he might think at first that Percival suffers because of war, I'm sure he saw enough victims of domestic abuse to realize that something is off. Newt already takes care of hurt animals so I'm sure he can see that something bad is going on with Percival.
I can only keep my fingers crossed that Percival won't sleep late and be woken up my his husbands (or worse, they will hear him screaming from nightmares and will ask what is going on). The poor guy went to sleep only because he was finally alone and felt relatively safe.
