It's chaotic, it's confusing.
And it reminded me of Slaughterhouse-Five.
I read it a very long time ago, but it's like that structure is just, it's just snippets of flashbacks everywhere.
Like it's all messy.
There's no linear narrative.
And I think,
And that was something that Sen, I don't know if it was intentional, but the way that this story is structured really helps with feeling like you're part of this war because you don't know what's going on.
And I think that's meant to be the idea.
They did.
Yeah.
Like I remember the Holdfast as well, like the way they were running the Institute, you could see, again, don't agree with it, why some people felt ostracised and felt like they were the kind of, they shouldn't be in control of this place and wanted to follow their own path.
And if they're whatever Moreau has promised them, you know, you could see why they might feel in a way similar to Helena, which is maybe something why she connects with Cain so much.
So ostracised to the point where they feel like maybe this other option is the better way to go because they don't fit into this world that the whole farce have kind of created.
I mean, like, Luke is seen as a god.
They all are, which, like, that's its own, like, the religious sort of part of this.
Yeah.
And I like the whole, like, play on the chosen one.
Actually, like, Luke for me was just β this is their β
Yeah, and, you know, it was like usually, like you said, the focus is on the chosen one and they're meant to be, you know, this amazing, you know.
But he's like, it's Lila's protecting him and you've got Helena doing everything behind the scenes.
