Hello Dodger, first of all, I'd like to point out that English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes or if I’ve misinterpreted some of the finer nuances of your great work. I’ve been a silent reader since the beginning, and although I’ve never commented before, the current turning point in the story involving Rory has compelled me to finally share some thoughts. Reading this series has been an exercise in "connecting the dots." While many subplots move quickly and find their resolutions, there is one dynamic that remains incredibly slow-moving and shrouded in a grey zone—the relationship between Robbie and Rory. To be honest, I’ve often felt like the true story of this series is hidden between the lines. I've noticed a consistent pattern in how Robbie and Rory act. From the subtle moments—like the boat trip incident where Rory risked his safety just to be present, through the constant electric chemistry and those intensely charged moments that always seem to lead somewhere but never quite cross the line, to the way Rory is the only one who consistently subdues Robbie‘s impulsive enthusias, for example, during the whole adoption process and tells him the blunt truth. There is a fascinating "pendulum" at play here. Rory seems to be the only person who truly knows Robbie, yet he sends the most contradictory signals. As a reader, it's incredibly frustrating, but it’s also the primary reason I’m still reading this story. In the last two chapters, seeing Rory refuse to be a "punching bag" anymore felt like a massive shift. My concern—and perhaps my theory—is that this entire saga is actually about these two finding their way to each other, even if they don't realize it yet. If their paths were to permanently diverge now, I fear the story might lose its emotional core for me. Thank you for creating characters that are so well-defined that they can be both loved and "punch-worthy" at the same time. I’m curious to see if this "grey zone" will finally lead to the realization I’m hoping for, or if I’ve been reading a different story entirely.
