SPOILERS BELOW.
I realized the thing that's been bothering me about Tellus is that we never got to know him. There's this past history he has with MC but we never got to see that happen, bc he was more like a background character with the focus being on MC's friendship with Eve. When we reunite it's very emotional for everyone but on my end it took me a sec to remember who he was. Him lashing out at MC made me dislike him initially, whereas in another scene when Calliope lashes out at MC (about Vicente) I was more understanding. I felt like I knew her more and where she was coming from, while Tellus felt more like a stranger and on the real I was more annoyed he broke our shit than anything else lol. That being said, his apology made me sappy- they always do- and I'm looking forward to seeing him and MC rekindling their friendship.
I'd like to see more of him sprinkled in, either in the first chapter or whenever we're reminiscing. Like if we weren't with Eve we were with him, or how all three of us hung out together (his shy dynamic with a bold Eve would be fun to see. Eve wants to do X, MC wants to do Y, and ofc Tellus always agrees with whatever MC says which sets her off 😂), or more about the way he participated in MC's hobby.

I loved the differences with Bayram and his nicknames. I went back and picked everybody so I could see what he chose for them. Calliope's was my favorite, calling her LIL BUDDY.
My overall fave part was when we had to keep our pet from running out of the room. Reminded me of mine and all the times I had to squeeze through the door while they desperately tried to shove me out of the way. Compared to everything else it was such a little thing, but for some reason it stuck out to me and made me happy 🥰
