Yes, we finally get to hear about Jacob's issues and find out he's not the god-like person in Russ' mind. To me that makes him more human and likable. He's lucky to have found Russell, who for all his faults are devoted and loyal. They fulfill each other's needs much more than even I anticipated.

Thank you for faithfully commenting on every chapter, and for being patient about getting a reply.
