To Backyard Windchimes-

Nice theory!! I like how you planned everything out and used Keefe's past as an example... And I can see how I would totally believe that if I saw Keefe in a different way.

However, Keefe is VERY loyal to Sophie. Think about it, he's an Empath- he's known how she's felt about Fitz this entire time. He feels her feeelings every time he's around her, and same with Fitz whenever they touch, not to mention they're best friends. And like he says in Flashback, everyone has been waiting for Fitzphie to happen, knowing it would. He's prepared himself. I can't see Keefe going to anyone else until Sophie and Fitz and married, or something happens and she literally rejects him (not just chooses someone else). He's getting better at not running off and doing reckless things, and he's learning that if he really loves her (friend-wise or other) he'll be there for whatever she needs, even when she doesn't choose him. He may be hurt, but I think he cares about her too much to just run to Biana. He's getting better at being patient. And like I said, he's always known Sophie liked Fitz, which hasn't stopped him from liking and being there for her then- why would it change now?

Not to mention, he knew Biana when he was having to deal with all the pain from his parents even before the reveal about his mom. And in everything, he's always run to Sophie when he was dealing with hurt- NEVER Biana. Why would that change now, and why wouldn't he have gone to her before? I know, maybe he will with Sophie out of the picture, but I just don't see Biana being the one he'd go to. More likely he'd just keep his emotions locked inside, which he's getting better at doing instead of lashing out.

Keefe has changed a lot. Bottom line- I think he's too loyal to Sophie to run to Biana. "I know what matters, Foster- And that's all that matters." -Keefe, Lodestar

But I totally respect your argument. It's very thought out and that makes me happy, lol. I want to talk to people who do that. And if the image in my mind of Keefe didn't scream "loyal to Sophie", I would totally agree with you.
