Nice post, Its like reading a really good book chapter. Props for stringing together alot of information like that. I like how the character makes pragmatic calls like that, able to compartmentalize the emotion.
Lots of great stuff in this post - I think this is a moment that's really monumental for Ries' development. Also, the way you write Ira is gorgeous and I love her character so much. This post was beautiful to read! <3
Love this post so much. You woven everything IC of, and around, Ira in such a vivid way. It's practically candy to my brain every time I reread it. Such a great post!
