Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-43768196-20191001013944

Rereading Sophie’s kidnapping is so much harder because I know how Keefe is reacting since we later learn what it was like for him. We don’t ever see what it was like for Sophie’s other friends and family, we get some good implications of how hard it was but not like we do when we see Keefe’s memory. He was devastated. I don’t think he’s ever been as crushed as we was at that time in that memory. Not even after all the stuff about his mom, his past, the Neverseen. And I think that’s significant somehow, I honestly can’t picture anyone else being in worse shape than Keefe was. Not even Grady and Edaline (in part probably because they’ve been through it before). I can’t help but think Keefe already loves Sophie by this point. We know Fitz only sees her as sister right now and when he eventually develops feelings for her. We’re never really told for Keefe though. But that memory despite being books away from me in my reread, is still clear and fresh in my mind during this reading of Sophie’s kidnapping. Sophie is one of Keefe’s few bright spots in his life and I think she’s his brightest spot of all. Taking Sophie from Fitz dents him severely, taking Sophie away from Keefe destroys him completely. Not sure if that’s good or bad but definitely interesting.
