Homecoming - Episode 17
Added 2023-11-01 11:31:56 +0000 UTCIs Cindy a liar? Or is Chris an unreliable narrator? I really, REALLY enjoyed revisiting Chris' narrative. As you can imagine, Cindy's story will have big repercussions on the rest of the storyline...
And you'll get to vote on them! 😊
I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Thank you, Cora! Yep, the past is a stubborn ghost, isn't it? It lingers and shapes us, and sometimes holds us back. Homecoming is about a lot of things (mostly hopefully it's just a fun story), but the struggle between two halves of the same person, each trying to protect the other, is a big one!

2023-11-06 19:07:04 +0000 UTCFor what I've read this seems to relate to me of being a double edge sword of two entities at play. I am loved but I can't love in the way that this story follows is the element of self-protection of the other half of you trying to prevent the other half ending both versions of our truer selves for a long time, and I can relate to the Cindy story and Kris/Chris the same time because the past never seems to leave you no matter what you do to change it ! but I can make a difference and eliminate looking back and moving forward in life of what is in my power not of what I don't have in my power.

2023-11-04 13:39:50 +0000 UTCThis one is really, really hard to comment on. One of the stories is a lie. Cindy is lying, either because of(threats from Bella, or from brainwashing, The alternative is that Chris is delusional or just flat-out lying about everything. It may also be possible that both are telling half-truths because of reasons, and the real story lies somewhere between. I read a couple of comments before I had time to read this chapter, and I really had a hard time making myself read it. There's so much emotion and feeling invested in Kris/Chris up to this point that it'd be rather traumatic to some readers (like me) to find out that Chris is delusional or deliberately lying. Cindy being a liar - well, there are two obvious reasons why, and probably more reasons that Emory can come up with - and that path has more potential to keep Chris as a sympathetic victim. The story is at a critical juncture - a fork in the road, if you will. And as Yogi Berra said, "when you come to a fork in the road, take it." ITo be frank - due to built-up sympathy for Chris, this is going to be hard to read until we know whether Chris or Cindy is telling the truth. There's only so much you can do walking this line of "who's telling the truth and who's lying, and why" before it emotionally burns out the readers.
