So while editing I realized this rewrite is really just streamlining/trimming a lot of the excess fat I found in the story! Some other changes I might incorporate upon further reflection:
Isla has a third act crisis of faith and successfully runs away before realizing she’s grown too attached to oro and celeste and that they do, in fact, need her help
Somewhere in here she’s able to confront her mentors and emotionally break free from their influence
Grim starts acting up a lot more in the third act & is pushy toward Isla regarding the heart, making her understand that his motivations are selfish way earlier. Her pushing him away prompts him to start manipulating celeste behind her back
Grim’s selfishness makes him a foil to Isla! He retreats further into it while she grows out of it, and that puts them at odds on multiple levels. Grim is her main antagonist and their falling out should be tragic
I still don’t know what to do with cleo lol. I think putting her in league with grim makes sense but it also kind of doesn’t? What an odd character
thank you for watching :)
