What a wonderful read if a bit too fast paced at the end. A few more details would have been nice.
spoilers ahead
Would have been nice to have the proposal shown, a bit of joy to ease the horrors of the torture. For us its mere hours and fresh. (Vividly so if you are like me and manifest yourself into the MCs shoes) and was it a marriage of necessity or actual love?
In this situation I could see either. Necessity to ease the panic attacks and the separation anxiety that no doubt would have developed shortly after escape, the pandemic possibly compounding on top of it all.
Or love, in which case would be the rock in which got these two through their toughest trials.
On a side note. I'm sad about the Archie/Cam dynamic falling apart. It sucks losing a long time friend simply because both are too scared to take that first step in properly communicating. One distrusting the echo shadow that never left, the other not being honest about his newfound abilities limits or control.
If cam can control it freely at this point in the story, then the fallen friendship would indeed be his fault, if he cannot, there's a chance at reconciliation.
