Thank you so much for the mass update!! I can't imagine how much hard work you had to put in to manage all this.
Caidel has me worried. I think it's nice that they're openly communicating, but it feels like there are words being left unsaid and feelings unexpressed and they're just hanging there between them, maintaining that feeling of bitterness.
I think it'd be easy to say his weird expressions are from him being upset at Eleanor for irresponsibly erasing memories, but it just doesn't add up to me. I'm sure those are his real feelings, for sure. But when he embraced her and held a heavy expression. The way he goes from blushing to collected. Him glaring down at her from the window when he was out of sight. It's all suspicious and I think there's a lot more to his black and white feelings than just unease. Now that we've seen these expressions, a lot of his over the top affection feels performed lol.
I didn't expect to love this series so much, the author has just blown away my expectations with the amount of thought placed into these characters!
