Oh my god I love this! I just wanna give Roos a hug. I think I'm gonna need some time to process this beautiful story. But I for sure found myself another comfort book. There's just something about Gothic literature that really attracts me so easily.

And the addition of the Doctor's transcripts lowkey gave me
Sucker Punch
vibes for some reason.

I also did not expect this to be a love story. It's quite beautiful yet so very tragic.
