3.5

Also a sweet story, also ran into one of my "I am made deeply uncomfortable by the way these characters are behaving and I need to take a break" moments because I dislike sudden outbursts even though Zabo did a good job telegraphing that it was coming, I wanted more obvious scenes of conflict. Or...something.
I can never articulate why my "are humans really like that?" alarm goes off for some behavior but not others. It would be so useful to know but I just don't.
The coffee puns were horribly excellent, though, I must say.
