It was a couple builds ago now, but I just wanted to highlight how grateful I am for the section written from Lyall's perspective. From a narrative standpoint, it was necessary because we needed to see what was happening outside, and the MC was still stuck in jail. But from a more meta standpoint, I was so glad to hear directly from Lyall's thoughts that he genuinely loves the MC and believes in his innocence. I was worried that he might be lying about that, especially since the romance developed so quickly, but if his inner monologue said it then it has to be true. After all, why would he lie inside his own head? If anyone ever starts to doubt Lyall or his intentions, this section is solid, concrete assurance that he's exactly who he says he is.
Yep. If youre being accused, and your only defense is "trust me", you cant be sure if someone would actually trust you. Theres always that vague "yes, i trust you", but we can never know. But seeing directly from his pov really show that he does care, and im glad...
Hope it made sense (english is hard ,_,)
