[@tommeakin1732]

I think I might kind of know what you mean - but for me it's that weird kind of "happy sadness" that you get when you remember a happy memory of someone who's no longer with you. It's weird that I feel that for people that mean nothing to me as individuals; but it's like they symbolise something that means something to me. It actually makes me small with a lump in my throat when I see them laughing and playing around. Tbf, part of that is probably because we've brainwashed ourselves into imagining Victorians as being cold-faced, emotionless people - and it's great to see the real humanity in them

@@SStupendous Sure I’ll make it more broad and more likely for you. 1.

A man in his physical prime to be able apprehend and kill 5 women “ and I’ll make this broader for you” and be able to pull it off so deceitful and controlled, would most likely be from ages 18-60 and that’s really pushing it because I doubt there were hardly anybody who had the dissection knowledge and be even 20 or below and most people back then didn’t often live to 60 let alone be able to move so agile. So therefore in the most realistic circumstances… It was a male proficient with anatomical knowledge and to at least be decently smart enough to never get caught or even seen. As well as most likely being the age between 20-50. I’ve broaden the spectrum and narrowed my details.
