Thanks
@Uxtef for working on this chapter
Is he really stolen? Cause he seems to see her as a toy and he touched the bird so maybe the bird planted feelings into him thus manipulating him? When he’s with Bertia he experiences so much more emotions that gets him closer to being human. Also, at this point he sees Bertie not as a toy but something more. For example, when he becomes exasperated and gives in to Bertia requests or spontaneous just to see her reactions or angry when he sees her with others.
All in all, it’s too soon to tell.
