And so, another great chapter comes to its inevitable end. Sorry if this sounds a little dark, but, it's true, every chapter of a story has an ending, and I don't mean when a story ends on a "the main cast will have adventures you won't see" note.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. This seems like the most laid-back chapter I've read yet in this story. Even compared to the other moments of rest, I.e., Lucas and Rea sharing a bath, Rio going out for a day on the beach, Lucas sharing a late dinner with Rio and Yakumo, I feel that this is laid-back in a sense of the people. True, this chapter had some strong moments of contention, like Davis posting Lucas's fight under his own name, Rio holding Lucas in a deadly hold, and Davis assaulting a lamppost, it just feels it a bit more relaxed. Except for the video, and possibly Viola, Rio, Lucas, and Davis don't have much of a reason to stay on the defensive, and for a moment, seemed like they almost all had fun with together.
By the way, I caught how Rio said she was developing respect Lucas, emphasis on "was" considering how she met Davis and how she used Lucas as a scapegoat. AGAIN.
When I was reading the other comments, I saw how many of the people here were referring to this as an "SoL" type of chapter. Would you mind telling me what the abbreviation for that is, relating to this story?
Finally, I'd like to say, this chapter really helped to remind me how these people, even though they have some dangerous qualities, even Davis, they're still teenagers with things in common. They help provide for their respective families, they like having fun once in a while, their interests can be somewhat...disconcerting, and they all have, as I said before, dangerous sides to them. Once again, with this long comment, I say, keep up the good work!
P.S. I wonder why Lucas isn't trying to keep Davis from accidentally killing himself on the lamppost. Maybe I haven't read that part yet, but still. Rio, meanwhile, is probably wondering, "Perhaps he'll hit himself so much, he'll forget ever meeting me. Then Lucas could breathe a little bit easier around me. Even just a little."
