brennan as tracker jumping in to stop the bad kids from continuing to be cruel to fabian is. oof. lord. because if tracker hadn’t been like “this is depression” the while angst would have continued

this is so intensely close to real life for me that it's scary.... fantasy high what the fuck

the bad kids' reaction to fabian struggling is shitty but. it's also very real. especially adaine's, who has struggled for longer and only just got it seen to. its hard at that age, and all ages to an extent, to see that other people have problems too. and that theirs matter.

adaine and riz being like "but youve had such a good life" is such... a real thing to say, to someone who seems to have it so good from the outside. and at the end of the day these PCs are KIDS and they're gonna forget that their world isn't Everyone's world
