The analyses of a text #2

Shun (Fukuda Saki), who has tattoos and piercings all over her body, is the third generation descendant of a Japanese orphan left behind in China during World War II. Takeru (Matsushita Yuya) is a lonely and reckless hooligan whose family was murdered when he was a child. Shun, Takeru and Kasumi (Watanabe Natsuna) with an equally troubled past and background, become collaborators after being hired by Kuchinawa (Kamikawa Tamaya) in police undercover operations in the city of ‘Midori’, a neighbourhood for illegal residents. They infiltrate a criminal gang to investigate, and find illicit human drug experiments and slave treatment staring them in the face. They grow to trust one another and mature through this experience.

If so, I was wondering "staring them" only modifies "salve" of "slave treatment.
2. I'd like to know if "grow to do" means "come to do."

park sang joonThen I was wondering if non-sentient being can stare at someone.
No. That's impossible. This is metaphoric language, where speaker meaning is not the same as word meaning.

We use the idiom "staring (someone) in the face" even for inanimates, meaning that the "someone" discovers something somewhat unforeseen or in an unexpected way, as
