Crushed my soul but in such a beautiful way I don't mind suffering like this over and over again.

<I would've loved for Patroclus to have a more individual personality, things he likes/dislikes, passions and overall more informations on him as a person instead of fully focusing on his love without ever elaborating on his character. He is just really sad, really scared, really admirative and really in love throughout this book without ever getting to exist without shadowing another character >
