I like the dynamic of Braun and Soleum, even though it's scary. The story really knows how to show that Braun's quite evil and I say that Braun maintains the friendship just cause of the scary experiences Soleum goes through. Like entertainment, and that's so dangerous to the main character cause he just wants to be entertained so it's not a perfect friendship feeling more like, toying around. Although Braun is attached, just by not harming Soleum personally, he still a ghost and that's what we need to remember. These non humans, except the aliens, all have an agenda.

The end of Part 1 was *incredible*, and I feel the need to lay everything out.

In my opinion, it was the perfect way to wrap up the first arc. It explained everything that *needed* to be explained while cleverly leaving behind just enough unanswered questions to pave the way for Part 2. It was masterfully done.

The final chapters were complex, layered, and emotionally intense. But what truly stood out was how skillfully the author tied everything together—every thread, every hint, every shadowed moment. And just when I thought I had it all figured out, it ended with an even *bigger* question mark burning in my mind.

(Yes... that night, I cursed myself with everything I had for not waiting until the story was complete. Now I have to endure two months of madness until the author returns—and I *will* go insane waiting)

he’s already gotten corrupted by Braun. There’s also a possibility that his original world was a ghost story (most popular theory so far)
