I've been trying to figure out how to respond to this comment for ages, but I just want to grin and beam and say thank you, thank you, for noticing all these things and for liking this (the stupid, most telling story I've ever written) and for telling me about all the things you noticed. I'm writing the sequel right now, figuring it out, and it's so good to have feedback like this from the first story, so so so good.

Ps. This: like the Chicago side, and how they're so...electric, I guess, and how they're coping without Pete - because he's Pete Wentz, and of course everyone knew him, but he was theirs, it's going to have killed part of them too, and I want to see how they keep going, what they use individually, and together, to make themselves carry on. That's the sequel, baby girl. And then they save the country, etc. ♥
