p12: slay miss minton 👑 a whole trunk full of books 📚
p153: oh miss minton was the maid that helped bernard , that’s how finn knows her!
p167: i’m not sure i fully picked up on this before, but if the crows no longer care about getting finn then that means he probably could’ve just waited them out and carried on with his expedition after they left
p188: well done everyone, exemplary work. nice touch gifting finn back his dad’s watch
p232: i know what happens, he keels over and dies
p296: SLAY

p82: i just realised that james probably knows who his father is now ☹️
p89: i knew that’d have to be adam
p100: why are we drugging kenji again? what cause you don’t like his optimism? that’s just plain disrespectful. and kenji usually has the best plans anyway so how are you gonna rescue the kids without him anyway?
p107: hehe the one time he actually is drunk
p120: something really did happen to her brain. seems like she might be stuck in the past
p133: i love nazeera 🫶🏻
p140: man i love the supreme kids they are so badass
p143: now this is love. this is why aaron warner is a book boyfriend category of his own
p154: oh for goodness sake we just came from there!! 😠
p194: this is suspicious
p212: omg it’s adam!
p225: like the child he never had 🙄
p273: this man is not mentally stable in the slightest, he should be the one in an asylum
p280: unfortunately i’d be tempted to side with warner here
"This is super great. All of this information we're collecting is super helpful and useful." I count off on my fingers: "Amelia was a psycho, Castle wants to be BFFs with Anderson, and Warner has midnight fantasies about killing people.”
"If you keep touching me without my permission, I will remove your hands from your body."
p338: the troops have finally arrived
p390: i’m falling a little in love with aaron myself
p392: kenji is gonna be sick
p426: ofc it was them who started the fire

p23: poor kenji’s always tryna sleep whenever nazeera intercepts him
p33: “remember kids, the next time somebody tells you, ‘the government wouldn’t do that,’ oh yes they would.”
p44: jello is my new favourite nickname
I’m standing at the door with J by my side—Warner needed a minute to pick out a cute outfit and braid his hair.
kenji 😂

p35: this is crazy
"But she wasn't made to be this way, not like you. Not like Warner. She's not a born murderer."
bro is either in total denial or he never really knew her
p36: preach girl
p76: delalieu ??
p80: aaron’s been infatuated for years 😏
p82: how. dare. you. as if you EVER have the right to treat her like that 😡
p84: what the hell is going on????
p91: that’s so fricking messed up dude
p110: damn aaron and ella really do belong together. this is one hell of a chemistry
p113: WHAT. THE. HELL
p121: YES you’re damn right we are!!
p124: oh my God. did they form her in a damn test tube or something??
p128: NO i don’t actually care to know the heartache of a freaking PSYCHO
p140: so the question remains, by the time juliette gets out the asylum, does aaron still remember he can touch her
p148: look i know this isn’t funny but i’m actually wheezing rn 😂 have they literally shoved aaron in juliette’s cell ?? given him a taste of her medicine?? 😂
p155: warner might not be, but kenji is
p160: wait before delalieu died he was talking about how his free hours had been spent watching his daughter die so why did warner have absolutely no clue he was doing that?
p175: nazeera SLAY i knew she had to be double bluffing
p188: OH F—
p200: whatttttt
p205: for flip sake i bet he got sonya and sara to do something—NO omg! both aaron, adam, and james all have powers and they all share a father…anderson must have fricking powers too!!! something that stops him dying
p217: i am infinitely proud of aaron
p223: if this is a trap i might never recover
p230: emmaline is a badass
p237: the symmetry between aaron and ella rn is not going unnoticed
p239: oh ffs
"Don't you dare start crying. If you start crying I'll start crying and we do not have time to cry right now. We have too much shit to do, okay? We can cry later, at a more convenient time. I have so much shit to cry about. So much. We should make, like, a list."
real
p278: 😊😊😊
p287: kahahaha
p290: kenji and aaron’s friendship makes cackle
p306: i agree with kenji Tangled is definitely a masterpiece
p347: 😍😍😍
"I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don't ever give it back to me."

p11: i believe that he believes they’re all dead
p17: slay warner
p27: oh yeah i forgot the child wasn’t real
p57: too right she does
p109: settle in guys it’s story time!
"Do you never get exhausted being so wholly unbearable? You have as much charisma as the rotting innards of unidentified roadkill."
kenji would be the one to find that funny
p151: AH it’s just clicked with me that aaron is basically a wielder
p158: yeah this is literally what i’ve been saying this entire time. ofc she thought she loved adam, he was the only damn option
p161: kenji 😂 i love him more every minute
p169: all the adam hate? i’m getting it now, justified. obv he’s brokenhearted but there’s no excuse for that level of intensity. i’m slightly over it though since this just means she’ll run back to warner and i’m swiftly getting onboard with that ship
p194: that’s it i’m fully #juliette/warner
p199: this is incredibly healing for someone who’s brother is so scarred
p209: aaron’s cracking me up
p221: girl wants to take over the whole damn country??
p308: right i’m done making excuses for adam, he can f off. i was just rewarming to him as a human as well!
p313: i’ve never been so proud of her 🥹
p360: oh yeah i slightly forgot about adam’s extra traumatic childhood
