Neither and both - one is content with a very limited (some might say cruelly stifling) life and can't let go of his friend, the other finds the island life unbearable to the point of self-mutilation in an attempt to get away. At least the sister escapes - the only bright spot in a tragic story.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Read everything - as much as you can. The classics, modern novels, non-fiction, light reads, graphic novels - whatever catches your eye. Your reading experience as a whole will be unique, and out of that and your life experiences will come your own unique voice.
I'm sorry for your loss.
The open hand
holds nothing,
and so it holds
the world.
βNo path is set.
Walk where you will,
the horizon is a gift
with no strings.

She'll have lost that lovely blue ribbon within five minutes. Better to stay in and watch Scooby Doo.
But now they're in my mind....π±. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Love your horror stories.
'The UK.....with that stoopid island that they have'. Honestly, it's not longer possible to parody Tr*mp.
Is the whole novel going to be in Welsh?
