If this keeps up it will be the end of a friendship between Jerry and Scrape.

Always a tricky situation, watching your friend doing something stupid in the name of love.

I agree with wyatt! it’d the words ‘more fragile’ that get me, fragile how? phsically or mentally…

(P.S. City of Ember is awesome! I have the sequel and prequel as well.)

I agree, the “fragile” is the most compelling part of the story. It seems a bit as if he’s in an unhealthy relationship, maybe with a drug addict or so. I’d like to see where you take this.
