This follow-up was intense. Luke’s downward spiral, his fevered obsession, the way he teeters between guilt and violent fantasy—it was chilling. I felt his rage, his shame, his desperate need to purge himself of Kit’s influence, yet that lingering connection never fully breaks until the end. The reveal of Kit’s actual fate hit hard, especially after being trapped in Luke’s psyche for so long. But I wonder, was it really all Kit? Or was Luke’s obsession and delusion just as much a part of it? Is the ending about him finally recognizing how unhealthy it was, or is it more about him realizing he no longer likes what he was obsessed with? Maybe that’s why it ends the way it does.
Thanks for your amazing words as always. Great questions! How much space takes delusion in infatuation? And how surprisingly easily do we turn the page when it's over? Can we ever know? Maybe Luke needed the whole process to think he found himself.
