This one was a hard one for me initially because I wasn't sure if there was a way to redeem the MMC. Well, Ruby not only manages but knocks it out of the park. Immediate home run. The relationship between the MCs progresses naturally. We see a more patient side of our MMC while playing a supportive role for our FMC to grow and work through past trauma. The ending is a perfect wrap-up.
