hello, i wish we’d see more of the development sa relationship ng cassdres din. para kasing yung pov naka-focus palagi kay andrei na parang hindi masyado nae-explore yung thoughts ni cass at andres. sorry pero parang nag-spawn lang tuloy out of nowhere yung sudden shift ng feelings ni andres. yung kay cass naman (di ko alam if i read this wrong), siguro hinted sya sa mga ibang panels, the way he acts around andres pero i don’t think they are enough to suggest anything kasi hindi naman masyado na-establish yung connection between them (except those times na naging vulnerable si cass and nagbigay ng advice si cass kay andres tungkol kay ji), unlike with andrei na talagang well-developed yung dynamics nila. kaya ayun hindi siya ganun ka-compelling for me kung totoo man na may crush (?) si cass kay andres which i doubt. lalo na nung may naisip si andrei during the gig na smth along the lines of andres will become the center of cass’ world again, idk if i missed something pero ayun naisip ko huuuh where did that come from (no offense). plus we don’t know what really goes on in cass and andres’ minds, except ofc when they have a few scenes tgt, dahil nga sa masyado sigurong andrei-centric yung au. hindi ko alam kung intentional siya or ano, pero sana wag ma-compromise yung flow & plot ng story just because most people prefer a certain character over another. this isn’t meant to discourage, pasensya na sa unsolicited review so far. you may choose not to answer this one, i just wanted to say my piece :)
i get what you mean and honestly, i appreciate you taking the time to explain your thoughts! i understand where you’re coming from, especially with how the development of cass and andres may feel less explored compared to andrei.
but to give a little context, as of where we are in the story, andres still sees himself as straight and with the current lapag doon pa lang talaga niya malalaman kung ano ba talaga yung nararamdaman niya. intentional din yung andrei centric pov because of his personality. he’s the type who can freely talk to cass while andres is more quiet and reserved especially since he’s also coming from a heartbreak that had nothing to do with cass at all. unless, of course, yun nga yung nangyari that night.
kumbaga, mas naka-lean talaga tayo kay andrei for now because he’s the one who naturally has more interactions and can talk to cass freely, while andres is mostly just quiet and observing. hindi ibig sabihin na wala siyang relevance or wala siyang sariling side sa story. we just haven’t reached that part yet.
but still, trust me on this one HAHAHA i know we’re already 500+ panels in and mas marami talaga tayong nakikita from andrei’s pov pero when that certain thing happens, andres will be there. he’s still very much relevant to the story and his side will make more sense once we get there.
and no worries about the unsolicited review! i actually appreciate it kasi it also helps me see how the story is being perceived from a reader’s perspective. thank you for sharing your thoughts and i hope you’ll trust me with where i’m taking the story hehe 🤍
