it’s 3am because i needed to finish it before i could go to sleep

how are the characters in this novella more fleshed out than characters in some full length books?! they felt so real and i love them. they’ve created this beautiful found family that makes my heart ache in the best possible way.

i laughed, i cried

the space walk seen really crept up on me, i didn’t realise i was crying until everything got blurry.

but also wtf why the open ending WHYYYYY i hate open endings with a passion 😢😢😢
