What a beautiful story. Just rediscovered it after thinking that chapter three had completed it. You don'T need to hear about your comand of language, style and tone, I'm sure. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the careful pacing of it all, and how deeply respectful the story is of real emotions and the pain of living, and the joy that makes it worth while. Thanks for releasing such a story into this fandom.
