read the commentary for intransigence and of course I have the brainworms about it and getting to see all the structural elements I didn't notice while reading through it myself - like seeing the back of a piece of embroidery! lovely - and I am thinking about the loneliness of jonathan keeping his long con secret from everyone for so long vs the collaborative effort between the ladies to keep their "stop vlad from doing something really stupid again" plan under wraps
Thank you so much for letting me know! <3 The 'back of a piece of embroidery' image makes me very happy and is delightfully apropos for this particular series.
And yes, definitely a very marked and deliberate contrast there! Such different experiences for them. Of course, the fact that those plans are in diametric opposition to one another is only one reason why that that loneliness cannot be bridged.
