Woo hoo! I am so ready to see how this new arc plays out! I can already see Darren becoming more and more self aware, I'm really rooting for him to become his best self. ♡
It's always a joy to read a work that someone has really poured their heart and effort into and soon I suspect I'll be able to see even more of that in the coming chapters.
I hadn't expected Marie and Bryan to get so worked up, but now that I know about the additional stresses the school put on everyone, I can see why that happened! Those poor students!
Darren's inability to speak up was also a great moment for him to have a bit of self reflection. Also, I don't know why, but I got this sense of like a candle slowly burning out when reading this, like, Darren is trying to keep up his facade but it's getting more and more difficult for him to do it. It makes me both sad and happy for him, in a way, if so. Still, the quips landed for me in this, as they always do. ^^
See you next chapter!
