I have to reiterate: Bait, some of your best issues are the "aftermath" issues. You do an amazing job replicating what it would really be like in the situations these people go through. The emotional states of all of your characters are so well-written.

Cole and Duke's time in the beginning, their tiny catch-up, was so concise and short and quick, it was pretty great. I have this problem as a writer where I drag things on for way too long, whereas you seem to nail down the precision and brevity that real-life conversations would typically have and I envy you for it dude. Great stuff.

Lienne and Alec sobbing was heartbreaking. Lucy broke my heart. Cole's breakdown at the end was devastating. So much lost hope. What's next for these people but more heartache? This is a theme I hope you explore more in the future. Hope. This idea that there is something better, something greater out there, a goal they can build toward. I'm looking forward to whatever's next, whichever direction you go, that's for sure.
