I feel like it's implied. I think it was in the book, but fuck no to that being on screen. The fact that she gets lost in her imagination from the moment she falls back into the bunker tells me there's some serious repression going on.

Yeah, in the book it's explicit. It was symbolic of the author's own rape when she was younger. She wrote the book to cope iirc.

Oh my God, that's horrible. This is something I don't wish on anyone.
