Felt so many things about this. 🫠 I liked the way you tackled all the issues around conforming to family expectations, fitting a certain image, and everything that's engrained in us just from being raised a certain way (which makes it hard to overcome without some external push). I really feel for Blythe, the lines about looking in the mirror and loathing their reflection broke my heart. 😢 (and I absolutely understand why they'd go so far to change things)
But heartbreak aside, I enjoyed the read! The writing and world-building are great (though I guess these are kinda your trademarks at this point ^^), and props for adding the little lore pop-ups, I found them very helpful. 👌 Oh, and I feel like the warm color palette really added to the mood, it felt fitting for a late-night heart-to-heart about family secrets. 🤭
The ending was very heartwarming and felt satisfying after the whole conversation, and I'm curious to see what the future has in store for these two. ^^ (even though it's probably nothing good, haha)
