what the fuck. rebecca you’ve just jumped to the top of my author enemy list. we’re beefing. i will give you this though, it’s very hard to write a
main character death
and make it well done. it was so necessary which is why although im devastated i can’t say i hated the ending bc i didnt. i loved it (shame). i obviously didnt love that
rin died
like duh she’s my best girl she’s mother, and i didnt love rin and nezhas storyline because again, obviously. but from the beginning me, rin, and nezha all knew that
one of them had to die
. so with everything that rin did, her
dying
was the literal only possible ending for her. so even though im sad, when a
main character death
is well done i have to give it its flowers
