This was beautiful and heartbreaking. I found myself in Ari and his experiences of emotion. 

While I loved the way it wrapped up with Ari accepting his love for Dante, it felt very sudden. I understand that Ari was confused but it didn’t seem like that’s how he was feeling? It felt a bit forced by his parents?
