Wtf why aren't the messages consistent-
"Are you awake?" --> A few lines before previous chapter "Hey, you're awake?" Wtff.
The concept of having both their POV's intertwined here is cool uwu
So so end of story. Ok. Honestly it's by far the fic of yours I like the least. Like, the characters' dynamic is cool, their respective personalities have enough in store to give them strong voices and all, but mmm. Well, Nina has her good chapters. Mel it's more complicated. While I have no problem with characters slurring, it's just that (not only that one chapter after the exhibition) it feels forced. Like you needed it to show off her personality. So sure in the beginning she was my fav character but then not really. Of course, it's nice attempting and always good to challenge yourself into more different characters then you're possibly used to :3
Part of the biggest problems here, to my eyes, is that while the story is thoughts-driven, most of the time, for most of the chapters, it's circling, circling, circling. Some sentences that Mel and Nina are addicted to only adds to this feeling. And since there are no events, no descriptions of places or else, well.
The way the exhibition was presented sounded like it'll be an important event but I was surprised when you suddenly cut it short. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
But there are also some nice chapters, like the one right after the exhibition from Nina's POV. Chapters like this one show you can do far better, that's why I bother you 
Their habit of drinking coffee which ends the fic is a nice idea, I like how it all begins and ends with their shared cup of coffeee (even though I hate coff*e 😭)
