This was so cute!!! I love it when they take the first step

Sunburst winced, “I told her I have feelings…?”

I usually try to refrain from commenting in the middle of a story. Because somehow, I always ask questions that get answered the next chapter, remark on weird stuff that gets explained in the next chapter, and so on and so forth. Ah well, this one got me though.
For all the heavy emotions in this chapter, for all the drama and rising tides, I read that line and somehow, I immediately broke down laughing. The further I read into this, the more uncomfortable I became, seeing that mound of parallels between Sunburst and me rising to a hill, and then a mountain. I find a lot in him that I recognize from myself. Ah well. Anyway, this line. This one line just... broke me.
'I have feelings'. It's just... yeah, it's cringy as heck, it's hilarious. 'Sometimes I'm annoyed, or frustrated. You know? I have feelings! Right now, I'm feeling... slightly hungry!' On a rational level, I know that it shouldn't even be that funny. Or funny at all. But somehow I just couldn't stop laughing for a solid minute or so.
Ah, good one. Now let's move on to the last chapter.
