Oh lord. Lots of emotions here.

Poor Jake. I love the idea that he almost almost ALMOST went after his bullies and took the ultimate revenge, but backed out on it. I always said this kid had a glint of crazy in him, but I'm glad to see you make him a bit more conflicted about it. He's not completely batshit, he still has some form of moral compass left and it makes him so interesting. His scene with Duke, too <3

This issue seemed like a big transition piece, with not a lot happening in terms of plot, but in terms of development it was a necessity. Cole and Chloe, Cole and Tora, all great scenes. And that last, final line, was absolutely perfect. A lot of feels when I read that one, honestly.

Another great issue, no doubt about it. Your element for developing characters only keeps improving and recently, you haven't failed to impress.

PS: I loved the subtlety in your writing, especially in the Jake flashbacks when you mention Drew's Southern accent and hint "certainly not from Chicago", until the ultimate reveal that Jake and Aubrey had to move around constantly because of bullying problems. Really subtle touch that ended up leaving a big impact because you didn't spoonfeed the information to your audience. Nice touch, really expert writing there.
