My favorite short story of the Delirium trilogy. I thought it was the best written from all the short stories. I loved being able to see more of Alex's childhood even if it wasn't a lot. We got to love him more. I decided to read it before reading Requiem, which I felt was a right choice because it helped me sympathize with him in Requiem. I know that after Requiem there was an overwhelming amount of hate towards Alex because of how he treated Lena and honestly, I think it's justified and his short story further exemplified that for me. I also think that if the same thing happened to me, I would act the way Alex did but probably more vindictive. I've gotten into many arguments about Alex in Requiem and I still stand by them haha. I think what Alex went through in the short story was the same thing Lena went through in Pandemonium (albeit Alex had less details but a little bit more gruesome). By this I mean, both not knowing the other person's fate, if they were alive or dead. I can really go on and on and defend Alex until the death of me but I will spare you haha.
