The fact that you replayed from scratch just to properly absorb everything?? That’s such an incredible compliment 😭
I’m so, so happy the reveal and those moments landed for you. That closet passage was one of those scenes that just sat with me while writing it, so knowing it hit emotionally makes me ridiculously relieved. (I am both sorry for the tears and absolutely not sorry at all.)
“The coffee tastes like it died hours ago…” becoming fridge magnet material is maybe the highest honor I could hope for. (My Mom likes to say something similar, when her coffee does not hit the way she wants it to xD)
And the rage?? The feral energy?? Completely valid. Entirely understandable. We are, of course, a calm and logical society. Obviously. Definitely. (Invoice denied, though. Emotional damage is included in the base experience.)
Thank you for rambling. Please never stop rambling. Comments like this genuinely fuel me to keep writing. 🖤
