This story - diving into the waters of illustrating mental issues is so relevant these days.
The author narrating the MC's journey who has support going through a process is something everyone needs to have reiterated so it's normalised - those who have gone through this, to feel represented and understand on a deeper level what Ebony's going through.
It's not shameful, even though people going through grief and pain feel weak and helpless... you need people like Dante to just be there, to not judge, to help you cry it out/care for you until you feel ready to climb up the spiral of depression. Wish everyone could have a friend like Dante.
Bravo.
