I'm not getting over them anytime soon:

Five: *Posts a low-quality image in the group chat* Duanphen: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this picture, I'd have 15 cents. Five: If I had a dollar for every once of range I felt in my body after reading this text I'd have enough money to buy a canon and fire at you. Caleb: Actually I did the math. Duanphen would have $225, not $0.15. Duanphen: Fam, I'm right here. Isabela: If I had a dollar, I'd buy a can of soda :). Five: While you're there, can you buy me apple juice too. Isabela: Sorry, I only have a dollar :( Caleb: Hey, I just realized Duanphen would have $22.500, not $225 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent. Isabela: If I had $22,500, I'd buy soda and apple juice. Ran: You can buy anything with $22,500. Duanphen: Yeah, and she wants soda and apply juice. Ran: Apply juice to what? Five: Directly to the forehead. Einar: Great chat everyone. --- Einar: it's a package from my parents. Isabela: What's inside. Einar: It's heavy, must be their disappointment in me. --- Isabela: If you put 'violently' in front of anything to describe your action, it becomes funnier. Duanphen: Violently practices. Caleb: Violently studies. Isabela: Violently sleeps. Ran: Violently shoots pictures. Einar: Violently boxes. Five: Violently murders people. Caleb: Violently worries about the previous statement --- (Responses to "I love you") Duanphen: I know. Ran: I'm sorry. Caleb: Why? Einar: *Finger guns* Isabela: *Hair flip* Who doesn't. Five: If only there was someone out there who loves you. --- Isabela: truth or dare? Einar: Dare. Isabela: I dare you to kiss the hottest person in the Skimmer. Einar: ...Five? Five: Y-yes? Einar: Can you move aside? I'm trying to get to the mirror.

GUESS WHO JUST READ LORIEN LEGACIES REBORN?

1 thing on my mind: Fugitive Six.

Not the book, the group, if that's what they're called. I love them so fcking much, like what the he-

Their dynamics are so cool, and yes there is some room for improvement like Duanphen getting more scenes/lines or Caleb getting actual character development but otherwise it's perfect.

Found family! What's not to love?

One thing is that Five finally got some of his redeeming qualities highlighted and I'm thankful he had people who mean something to him- his relationship with the Loric cannot be salvaged, not even after he tried. He called them his only friends, he got genuinely worried about Einar and Isabella in the mission and he said he "actually likes" Ran, which is really the best compliment anyone got to him.

I totally ship him with Einar: 2 psychotic murderers trying to do good and see the best in each other despite what everyone else says. I feel if asked about it, Five would go all defensive, like "Me? Einar? NO. See it's this thing called mutual exchange. I make sure he's not assassinated and he deals with my emotions for me. So what if I rushed to save him a couple dozen times, IT'S MY JOB." Einar also could've manipulated him from the start, and everyone thinks so, but he fully trust Five and wants Five to trust him and see him normally- not as a monster or villain or anything such.

Then there is Ran- I feel that she was better with Fugitive Six than at the Academy, she finally got to use her powers in a good way. Caleb is sort of her confidant, someone from her last life she still counts on. Her, Isabella and Dawn are besties, you cannot change my mind. She had an actual purpose and no one forcing her into anything.

Einar is very layered and interesting, honestly. He's a drama king, and a dress up guy- I probably should take liking to killers but oh well. I think he does have good intentions and a sort of moral code, he just wants Garde to be free and safe, and even though there were probably better ways to achieve it, his monologue on having no choice but to fight really got to me. I relate to it. Screw everything else. Also, for the love of God, please stop shocking him every ten seconds and just let him be.

Caleb and Isabella are not really my favorite, but they are good characters and decently deep ones at that. I think they can be a good pair, but I read it platonically sometimes and both work very well.

Duanphen is badass, and her legacy could've been much more useful. I like the fact she just goes around fighting with a broken leg like it ain't bothering her and when she got those stitches from Lucas, she was like "Oh well, I'm alive". Her and Five have a bicker-siblings sort of dynamic and I'm never letting go of this thought.

Also, Nine and Five fighting is as good as I remember.

"How 'bout we get started now, tubby?"

"I'm gonna jam that toy arm up your-"

---

"What do you want, Five?"

"Just wanted to say, I'm looking forward to saving your stupid academy because you're too much of a loser to do it yourself. Later, bitch."

Also, do not talk to me about the ending, I will cry.

Einar: I think we’re missing something.

Five : Teamwork?

Caleb : Cohesion?

Isabela : A general sense of what we’re doing?

(Duanphen stuck in a hole) Caleb: Don't worry, Duan. We're gonna get you out. *Turns to Isabela and Einar* How do we get her out? Isabela: Maybe we should smoke her out. Einar: Duan, are you sure there is nothing down there that can help you get up? Duanphen: Oh my! Here's a grappling hook! Oh look, an escalator! Silly me! Einar: We're about to die, Duanphen! Do you really want your last words to be sarcastic? Duanphen: Noooo-
