Im digging the end of the world feel we have here, I’m just really struggling with how quickly our gal child fell in love with her dude guy. It’s inauthentic because we didn’t get any backstory. Also struggling a bit with how we are lead to believe she’s a grown-up but her age-associated everything makes her very juvenile and I almost wish we just had a story about a 13 year old to make it all make sense.
