#the draft 1 train scene from 2021 had umm. a very very different vibe

[ranticore]

i finished TVM recently and I've rarely been so emotionally invested in a story- i would get so teary eyed every time esk talked about finbarr. the train scene with esk reminiscing about his passing had me putting the book down for a good hour to recover

Haha yay >:)

I originally wrote that scene WAY sadder and then I was like cmonnn this is too sentimental we need to pull it back a bit. As I was writing I sent screenshots to a friend and felt diabolically evil at all the crying emoji responses
