You've done a fantastic job with this chapter, Dawn! With this whole story, actually, there is such an intense, awkward, overwhelmingly lonely mood that it just makes me cold. Can't quite describe it, really, except to say that the differences in mood between this and AMC are so strikingly opposite.
The hints throughout, about Feanaro's desperation at Nerdanel's abadonment, at his stil-undying obsession with her, are quite terrifying. Who could live on such a pedestal and not crack?
"Our exile is over in less than two years now, and I believe that our family will heal then. We have been wounded, but it is not the nature of our people to fester but to heal. When our mother sees our father again—sees us—she will know the mistake that she has made. She will glue us back together."
Oh. My. God.
To know the real ending of this, ahead of time, is absolutely heartbreaking.
Anyway. I have homework to do, so I can't leave anything detailed, except to say that I can't wait for the next chapter!
