Oh thank the gods and welcome to the club! I thoroughly agree, Anon. I don’t have anything personal against Max, Anne, or Jack, but you’re right – they’re definitely not fighting for the comfort of anyone but themselves (which is not a criticism of them, particularly, just they’re not Flint, Vane, or Madi in that they don’t look to change the world, just their small corner of it). I think that if Vane were still around there would be a lot of people getting the sense knocked back into them and a great deal of shouting because dear gods he would not be pleased with this. Not one bit, and he and Madi would match each other in that.
