Damn this writing is top notch.
All the little pieces of the puzzle that have been brought up through out the story come to a head at this nexus point.
Great authorship.
Damn what an excellently paced romance.
Love the equivalent exchange theme. Destroy a potential love subsequently to arise new potentiality.
Beautiful shit. Hopefully the author can maintain this tone and consistency.
Really like how the Romance isn't a key issue in the narrative.
Drives the importance home of the level of desperation in the characters and setting.
Also its a nice meta analysis of the role of love in war being only a utility for survival and not a mechanism of pleasure.
