Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-34026531-20180324230510/@comment-2605:6001:E5D6:8900:B86B:D014:1AED:29D4-20180326223707

Both choices are extremely difficult for both characters. Yes, I know that Keefe doesn't have a good relationship with his parents, but deep down he does care for them. If Keefe didn't care for them then he wouldn't allow their words get through him, but he does. And despite how terrible both parents are, Keefe spent growing up with them, but then there's Sophie. Sophie, who he has a crush on, stayed by his side when he was dealing with things alone or couldn't get the people he needed to talk to. She always tried to help him and he did the same for her, coming to a promise to never hate each other which soon turned to a sort of affection they had. In this ultimate decision, Keefe would come up with plans to at least stall or save them both, but if he really had to choose I think he would pick Sophie.

For Fitz, it's going to be a lot harder. Between both, he cares deeply about his family and Sophie and that's what concerns me. If something wrong happens to his family he gets mad and angry like when Alden's mind was lost, when Biana got really hurt, or when Alvar was with the Neverseen. That shows how deeply connected he is with them; it's the raw emotions he lets out for them. When it comes to Sophie, he's really freindly and likes to do cognate training with her to the point where he wants to take part in any activities that she does. He even bakes for her which is truly sweet, and it may be confirmed that Fitz also developed a crush on Sophie. Now for the final choice, I know at this point Fitz would get mad for having to choose who to save since he holds both of them close to his heart and wouldn't want to participate in it. Of course he would try to avoid it by having telepathic communications from both sides to come up with the best solution, but if he really had to choose then it would be his family. This does not mean he doesn't like Sophie any less than his family, it's just that they were a part of his life for a long time and they are someone who can't be easily erased from his life.

Both choices are extremely difficult to choose, especially when they involove taking away someones life away. I'm going to say that having to decide for Fitz was not as easy as it was for Keefe, so in truth I really don't know what both characters would do in that situation, but its interesting yet hard to think on about. Hopefully that will never happen in the book.
