v interesting read! i was fully engaged. emotional straightforward writing.

genuine question were the parents meant to be sympathetic characters in any way? like.
Spoiler
killing a dog out of aggression???? lying to ur kid and saying that HIS MUM DIED???? like come on that is fucked up??? in what universe is this a normal thing to do and/or be forgiven for. justifiably yea no one should have to live with the dad after that. the mum too? don't put ur son in situations u know cause him distress,,, its not that deep is it? why did she take him to the mall after he showed up at her house fully traumatized bruh. he's been ur kid for 15 years and u still dont treat him like he wants to be treated. most sympathetic characters were christopher and toby. im so glad toby the rat made it ok. rebranding to doestheratdie.com. also i liked how the train characters were portrayed. just the unbothered crassness of the general public. they see a kid on the luggage shelf and be like "u ok there mate? kinda weird" and then move on and stay in their lane. also the diamond socked hipster who had his hero moment of the day

i started sweating when the math problem came up like. i have to write this proof if i read the appendix without writing this proof i will forever be worse at math than a fictional A level exam taker i dont even know what A levels ARE. anyway i wrote the proof and it was ok
