Choti, you've portrayed a very powerful description of the crowd scene. The energy, the passion palpable. The unwavering belief in the rightness of their cause writ large on their faces. I really liked how you showed Arnav's slow realisation of the formless mob morphing into individuals. A very creative way of showing his dawning understanding of what it means for his wife. His "He would stand with her, today, if he knew she was okay" evidence of the depth of fear he feels for her safety. Khushi's horror and panic at seeing Arnav felled was beautifully written. As a reader you made me feel her helplessness, her desperation. That sense of deja vu for her.
She wanted to be there, at the forefront, for her friend's memory, for what she believes is right. But, seeing Arnav hurt has seriously shaken her. For both of them, seeing anything happen to the other is unendurable. I hope they voice this to the other and are able to move on.
But but but ... we're nearing the end? Really :(
Lekin, right now I'm celebrating your graduation! Well done! Now you're ready to go out there and soar 🤗
