Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-72.239.165.76-20181214012255/@comment-35720834-20181214044151

Haha, well that was amusing to read. But, uh, all this Fitz death thing got me a bit worried.

As much as I don't like Fitz or Flashback, I don't think it's fair to discredit his and the book's existence. I might get a bit preachy here but bear with me. So... these things happen for a reason.

- For example, when Keefe stood idly by and let Sophitz happen, sure, he got hurt along the way. But it also shows that his affections can withstand the sadness. It shows his strength and how much he loves Sophie -- which goes deeper than just wanting to be her boyfriend. He genuinely wants to be her friend and wants her to be happy -- that's why he didn't interfere with Sophitz.

- On Sophie's side, she's blinded by her affections for Fitz, completely ignoring the red flags. Hopefully, what she'll get from this is her own preference in lovers/partners. She'll understand what she doesn't want in a guy. A guy who gets so angry that he refuses to listen or see from her point of view. And just because she's in a relationship doesn't mean she needs to cater to the other person's every need.

- On Fitz's side, hopefully, he realizes that he needs to mature and learn to not throw a tantrum whenever anything doesn't go his way. He will see that respecting a person that you love also means realizing that they have a mind of their own. They have their own opinions and ambitions. If he doesn't, it can easily lead to an abusive relationship down the line.
