Chapter 2: Wow, I'm in awe. It's hard to comment on individual chapters, so I'll comment in the entirety of the two chapters.
I could relate to the first chapter, that feeling where you find that someone in the crowd which just catches your eye, and everyone else just fade into the background. I find it really interesting that there's the vibrant/colourless contrast in the two chapters. Took me some time to understand the second chapter, but once I got it, I'm just mindblown as to how one can view the situation in two ways. The similes used are very fitting of the vibrant and monochrome themes, like 'a puff of smoke'. The pacing in both chapters are perfect to me.
Thanks for this! :)
