Oh... wow. I had to remind myself to breathe at points while reading this, I was so focused on it. I literally have goosebumps, in a good way, it was just that amazing. One of the best things about it, is that it contrasts against all other Rydon-type stories, where Ryan is always the weak one. It was amazing to see Brendon fighting something and Ryan trying to put everything back together
As soon as I read the last line, everything was clear, yet it gave me the chills, I mean, how would you help Brendon if that happened?
Once again, my dear Vinz, you have produced an incredible masterpiece and I absolutely love it! :D
