i’d like to throw in “revulsed” (sic) and “scared” as well, J.

that jarred me too.

obviously, i wish i didn’t have to witness such extremes of scenarios; but we humans can’t all have happy stories of rainbows and strawberry fields, since obviously that’s not how life is.

i might only hope that blue can teach us An Important Lesson, by the time she finishes her narrative.

hmm..
..funny how the extrovert was charmed by the introvert, and vice versa…..

…..opposites attract, yeah?

obviously al is in the closet; but it is also possible al’s an F.W.B., as you theorize.

at any rate, blue never did specify what those two’s actual relationship is; it makes sense to assume they’ve long made a commitment to each other.. ..but, for all we know, al’s heart could still be with that woman in the poster. (alastair does appear to have a connection with two different female figures, after all.)

and brendy might be having his own fun with other nerds, back at the campus.

i guess it’s up to blue on whether or no she wants to ever Word of God some of the back-story which might not gel so well, being relayed in comic format.

what’s the story on al’s viscerality?
blue really portrayed it so well, that i feel it within my own being!
