OKAY SPOILERZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Okay so this is long so I'll be writing my reactions as I finish like each scene or I have something important to note so rip

AND OMG YOU STARTED IT WITH SOMETHING THAT MADE ME WANNA CRY LMAO. POOR JAMES AND MEGHAN AND YOU WROTE THAT SCENE WHERE JAMES CRIES FOR HIS MOM TOO GOOD LIKE ALL THE FEEEEELS DANNEH U CANT DO THIS TO MEE

Okay so moving on from the tear-jerking opening, the scene with James at the bar was interesting because I really liked how you explained what was going on in his head without him saying it out-right. I love how he fears losing Sarah to Michael. I love how he knows Walsh's plan is gonna fail. It got me really interested on not only his development but also plotlines where he isn't the main focus -- where Sarah is, where Michael might be -- it's intriguing.

The following Ethan-Vicky scene was definitely beautiful. What started out as an awkward conversation I thought you were just adding in to expand on their relationship turned out to be something really amazing and some great development was flown both ways. Ethan feels guilt about what happened with Lynn -- and Vicky's right, he shouldn't blame himself -- but that guilt will either destroy or fuel him, and I can't wait to see which route he'll take. And then for Vicky...god, you got me so much more curious about her backstory and what other troubles went on in her lifetime...uggghgh the hype is so real. But not only that, I really loved how you mention that she's angry at herself. And it again, revolves around that guilt factor. She feels guilty about pushing away Lynn and making her problems priority #1, and like Ethan, I'm really excited to see if it'll make or break her. (And that irony with Michael Nicholson is hilarious lmao)

James' backstory really is tragically beautiful tho. Like, he witnesses his own mother's death, he moves to an orphanage where he feels as if he's an outcast, and he feels so alone and it's so sad ;-;. But at the same time, a loving couple takes him in and the scene were Paula takes him into their house for the first time is rather heart-warming and adorable. And his first meeting with Zoey too omg i could cri from the cuteness.

I really loved the dinner scene, more in particular Sam's speech. She really does have a point -- civiliazation is not dead, Justin Bieber is a plague, etc. -- and I really am looking forward to seeing more of her.

I love how Ethan confronted Walsh too about the safety of the mall. His story about what happened in the Middle East was cruel (and masterfully written) and I think that it's great that he was able to convince Walsh to let him do his thing. I'm really starting to warm up to Ethan after not having an opinion on him for a majority of the story, so I'm glad to see he's getting some badass development.

The Tate-Michael scene was beautiful and it made me want to cry seeing my baby like that T_T. I really love how Michael wants to "cure" Tate and prevent him from becoming a broken man like he was, but at the same time, I also love how Tate (like many others) had a strong, bright, and potentially successful future but it was stripped away from him because of this apocalypse.

It's also really awesome to compare and contrast Tate and Reyes. Tate had his beautiful future taken away from him -- his fiancee, his baby, his career -- all gone, while the apocalypse is making Reye's future and dream of getting out of the game happen. Two complete opposite sides of the spectrum.

The whole PTSD scene with Anahi was actually really cool. I'm really interested to see that expanded on -- maybe she asks Lisette for help? Maybe, since Ethan's part of it, Ethan will be able to help her? I dunno, but I'm hella interested to find out.

Overall, another fantastic issue Danneh. You know how much I love your writing so all I'm going to say is that you're fanastic, everything was absolutely perfect. 10/10 would band.

''"Then, in yet another touching moment, the little girl wraps her scrawny eyes around James and gives him one of the warmest hugs he has ever had." Damn gurl u talented''
