OP

Thank you so much for posting the continuation! I've really been looking forward to it and once again, it was everything I wished and so much more. Your writing is as always absolutely beautiful!

And your character voices are just amazing. Nikola is, of course, the shining star, but I also love the way you write Jon and Elias. And the interruptions by Breekon and Hope, who keep getting mixed up, that was a delightful mood whiplash during all the horror poor Jon is experiencing here. I just love his defiance. Biting Nikola, trying so hard to give Elias clues about his location, cursing her out at every opportunity... He's so brave. But then, the hopeless resignation.

And Elias' reactions, which are once again just absolutely everything, the way he warps what is happening into a fantasy about his Archivist while he's unable to do anything about his suffering. And he part where he thinks about overwriting all of Jon's scars is so rtmi, so that was an absolutely lovely addition.

Nikola making Jon beg Elias to stop it, that was perfect and cruel. Poor Jon. And he has two more weeks of that ahead of him...

Thank you again!
