Kid was a mess in Hawke, and yep—he’s still a beautiful mess here. But now he’s met his match in Han, who’s just as closed off and chaotic as he is. She’s got walls built to last, and she’s not looking for a wrecking crew, which makes their dynamic all kinds of tense. This one’s a slow burn—way more introspective than I expected. Kid wants to help Han, but considering his own life is in shambles, that’s easier said than done. There’s something raw about two broken people shattering and trying to piece themselves back together.
But I kept waiting for more to happen, and it just… didn’t. And when Han’s past finally came to light? It should’ve wrecked me, but too much time had passed—I wasn’t as emotionally locked in as I wanted to be. It didn’t hit me like Hawke did, but there’s still something compelling about their beautifully messy journey.
