how the heCK am i supposed to sleep after that O HH WOW!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! now THAT THAT IS HOW YOU TELL A STORY !!!!!!! the complete erosion of faith and trust in each other - they splinter outwards with cerrit trying desperately to save his family in his non-magical understanding of the city and it’s people [and FUCK WOW how brennan described that decision, that i’m going to spread like butter on toast] and the friends, what they see in the tree and the very purposefully choice to say ‘husband’ over ex-husband when asking who laerynn is looking at an d the love
the choice, to do that out of LOVE when, because, because this is a story about love and loving things too deeply and literally, literally tearing the world asunder for the people you cherish above the world itself.
and patia
in the middle
her and cerrit seeing the fight picking /vastly/ different routes.
there is not a single doubt in my mind that they love their friends with their entire beings and cerrit chose to let them brawl it out - and patia chose to remove the temptation by getting to the core of it.
and
it all became that anyways.
incredibly selfish decisions indeed. or was it love?
