What a beautiful chapter. I'm so glad Marcus will always be part of the team.

Not gonna lie, this one made me tear up while I was writing it. 🥹 But yeah, of course he's one of them, even if he has to move on. ❤️

I teared up reading it. Thank you for writing characters who love each other.

Oh my heart I don’t know how I feel about this!!!

That's by design. 🤗 I really wanted to explore the way that joy and loss and grief and gratitude and *all* the complicated feelings can coexist, especially when someone you love moves on to a place you can't follow. 🥺 Honestly, I've been struggling with this since the beginning of Marcus’s arc, just knowing it was coming. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you! I'm so glad everyone fell in love with Marcus and made his story work out so well. 🤗 One chapter left to wrap it up, and next season we'll start exploring some untapped depths of the characters we already know and love. 😉

Yes, he fit into the team so amazingly well!

Oh, that is going to be cool to see in the next season! You know, looking back, I can't believe how long these people have been part of my life! ;) And we're still going strong!

I can't believe it either! But after next week's episode, we'll be halfway through. 😱
