August chapter 3 the day after my birthday and it wrecked me in the best way. Fuck dude, his house of cards. The most brutal way to have "tis better to have loved and lost than never loved at all" branded into your brain permanently.
I also really loved all of the meta portions and Brian knowing he was doing things technically wrong but also knowing that the story he wants, the story his family wants, and the story AUGGIE wants is that he brings her back and loves her right.
And Brian and Linda... The Grieving Cousins. Being an embodiment of grief and your cousin, who has worn grief as a second skin his entire life.
Also delighted Tina will be a return character and that auggie thinks shes funny I would agree with her (in her position. If I was Brian I think i would dissociate every time I saw her)
soooo true. Auggie's like 'look at it, she's just a sad wet cat who thinks she's a supervillain. it's adorable!'
Brian, white-knuckling while the unblinking black eyes of auggie's corpse stare at him: i have never disagreed with you harder in my life
