Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37719459-20181211214115

I was reading that Keefe short story quote--the one from the very end--when I noticed something. That something led to another something. That something led to an argument.

"Not the hero.

Not the one trying to take control of everything.

A friend.

Until she was ready for more."

The first thing I noticed was the WORD CHOICE. Not "If she was ready for more," not "In case she decided one day that she was ready for more," but "UNTIL she was ready for more."

What this is basically implying is that he knows that one day she WILL be ready for more--Keefe is an Empath. He's picked up a lot of emotions from Sophie before even she realized she was having them--and this isn't even when she's enhancing him. Remember in Lumenaria when Sophie enhanced Keefe and he smiled? He later said that this was the time he proved Lord Cassius' theory right--that emotions in the heart are purer than the ones in the head. Either this is a VERY strange and inaccurate choice of words from an experienced author--especially since that quote was meant to be the big "boom!" at the end of the short story and that's the part that an author would work hardest to get right--and ALSO a coincidence that Keefe said he felt purer emotions (purer than... what?  Exacto.  Checkmate Sophitz.)  from Sophie when she enhanced him AND THEN GRINNED ABOUT IT--especially since he was obviously worried about Sophitz being a thing (remember the Sophitz "moment that happened only a hundred or so pages prior to Lumenaria?).  Honestly, there is only one way that these things line up--and that's that the emotions in Sophie's heart are of Keefe.
