While I liked this section of the story overall, after seeing this followed up in 233 - Love Is the Seventh Wave I definitely am not a fan of where Leo’s story went at the end here and into that current story. I’ll probably look back on this more fondly later once that story wraps up, but I just don’t like seeing my blorbos suffering in such a helpless way with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight.
That said I’d be aghast if you changed any of your plans on my account, so carry on and hopefully we’ll get to see that light soon.
