I loved it- in particular Sophia's bits which were heart aching. I love how they're in parentheses- as if even her words themselves are reticent.

I enjoyed your take on Naomi's motivations, even if it doesn't make me at all sympathetic to her ~feelings~

On another note- the past day or so I've stopped feeling sad for Emily and am now sad for Sophia. Like, this poor lonely kid, who was struggling with her family and (probably) her sexuality who thought she had a connection with Naomi. I know Naomi didn't mean it, but the fact that it's a transitory fling which doesn't mean anything to her makes Naomi look like a villain and this poor girl the victim. It isn't as clear cut as that (cause, you know, stalking) but that's how I feel. It all adds up to me not feeling very charitable to N. Campbell at all.

(She could never capture someone like Naomi with pen and ink; there's too much there, under the surface, that Sophia can only just sense, can only guess at.)

I loved this line the most. Possibly because you capture why Sophia went to the extremes she did. I can see her yearning to get to know Naomi, to try and make a fleeting encounter mean something.

Srsly, whenever I think of this show I feel all sad. FU, skins writers.
