wall of text commentary below. CONGRATS AGAIN for finishing the story!!
-
beast aka let yellow talk to her... until the others showed up and she was reminded that they can kill her -- aka give her her goal... my heart
the bit about baise's trash talking just kills me LOL
man tho. something that's standing out to me, after the whammy of the paragraph from last chapter ending in "then who can she be mad at" -- the team telling monster aka its okay to be mad at *them*, not just herself, and her absolutely refusing :( that's a direct hit to the emotional kidneys. when you're in this kind of spiral, it can be so much easier to be mad at yourself than other people. which sounds weird, but when you're already in a mindset of taking on the blame, even if it's just so you can feel in control of a situation that's outside of your control -- being mad at other people means that you're accepting you were helpless, which can be so so so so painful. plus with the added feeling that blaming other people, being mad at them, is unfair and wrong of you... just. m a n
the moment in the flames where yellow felt like she was running in place... as part of aka's negative feelings, and us having been in her head this whole story and knowing that that's deifnitely how she felt... ahhh
and that final line still just. clenches fist. i still love that line, it's SO good
