I am very much unwell about that line in the book where Grace goes like "I hope I wasn’t close friends with either of them. Or, if I was, I hope I don’t remember it." when he sees the dead bodies of his crew. Like. What's that, doctor Grace. Are we trying to dodge the pain. Are we trying to prevent or at least delay the heartbreak. Are we trying to hide our head in the sand (until we can't do it anymore and life forces us to face the horror).
Him being so avoidant and scared of being hurt is so important to me personally, you have no idea.
from some quick math i’ve done based on a snippet i saw from “miss holloween”, it looks like duke was born anywhere from 1980-1986. this means there’s little chance of him appearing in glam and the pentagrams (as he would be anywhere from seven years old to not even a year). and honestly? i’m thrilled. i like holloduke a lot, but i really want miss holloway’s story independent of the romantic aspect brought by duke. besides, i’m sure we’ll be fed plenty in “miss holloween”. it’ll hurt, but that’s kinda the nature of this insane ass town.
