    First of all I am so damn shocked and kinda sad that noone left a comment on that one since it is so so sooo true and emotional and kind of beautiful.
    But that also shows that today's world seems to rather be into cute/gossip/surprising/unrealistic stuff which is kinda sad, I think.

    There are a few more stories of that kind about Gabilliam I already read - but this is the best and most emotional out of them, especially because you only let it happen by pov and thinking, not really a scene or handling at all.
    The way you let Bilvy describe Gabe's character and his behaviour makes it more interesting and even harder to find out how the story-Gabe really is and especially why he's like that. It makes you wonder if he kind of really uses Bilvy or if it's just the younger boy's impression. You gotta deal with William's emotionals, his fears and pain, but you don't get behind Gabe's surface and the reason for the things he does - also does to William.

    The reader's pushed around between thinking the relationship between them both is once so false and also so true. Once so fragile but on the other hand stronger than anything else they could have get into. It makes Gabe so heartless on one hand, but the small things Bilvy's talking about really prove, that there is a brick in the wall around Gabe's feelings and that the light light of love shining through it is enough to save a whole life; that he kinda truely loves William.

    You also start to ask yourself, why Bilvy's so depressed and pessimistic about their future, you get curious about the things Gabe might have done that aren't pointed out right there; that made him fall and them both fall as well.

    Maybe it's not the biggest creation of art in its form, but with what it's expressing it's perfect!
