I’m thinking so much about Timothy Rand and the Rand family

He never applied himself, he never looked for more, he stayed at home and did nothing, he never even finished the D&D story

He was bitter that the others left and did something but it’s not like he even tried to do anything else until he was forced to, until he was forced to be face to face with Rachel, because really when it comes down to it, Rachel is the heart of the Rand family and they’re all broken without her

John was constantly working or just watching his caveman show. He is constantly on Rand’s case and doesn’t give him any grace, but can you blame him?

Donna was trying to be a good mother and wife and wanted her family to be happy but always came up short. She lost her youngest and then watched as her eldest slowly lost himself and shut himself away from everything and everyone, she lost both her kids at the same time, one was just slower to present that loss. Donna is trying her best to be there for her family, but she doesn’t feel like she’s been a good mom

And Rachel, the one who showed kindness to the Queen and lost her life to it, but was still there enough to talk to Rand and be upset that he wasn’t actually going to give her a hug when he said he would

Timothy Rand sees all of this and applies himself to fix Galloway and he’s the only one that makes it out alive and as Rachel says “you’ve changed” because he Has, he just needed Galloway to fully fall apart in order to Do Something and be more than what he was
