In this episode we follow Loki, the quiet boy who used to be a gamer.

Writing wise, it's simple, however, I have a few issues with some creative choices.

I don't know if the author has had the same gaming experience I have but I can guarantee something - games don't make your aim any better, at least from my experience.

Even when I played first-person shooters in a daily basis, I still wasn't able to get pieces of paper into the garbage bin, even if I was only two meters away.

*spoiler aler* TW: school shootings

Implying that Loki became a school shooter doesn't help either, that kind comment is made too many times and doesn't have any basis on reality.

*spoiler over* TW over

Character wise, we get to know some characters better. I'm a bit annoyed that we have to see Holden (the most uninteresting character) in every episode, though. The time we spend with Holden could be spent with other characters, that way we'd get to know everyone, even if only by name.

Story wise, it progressed in a meaningful way, things happened that will affect the future. However, the quantity of things that happen isn't large enough, which makes sense in a character centrist serial like this one.

Rating: 3 stars

This episode focuses on Loki, another teenager of the group.

As expected, this episode also gives the reader insight on Loki's past besides continuing the plot.

The narrative of his past was intense and it is heartbreaking that is the reality for a lot of teenagers. Bullying affected Loki in a terrible way and it is saddening to know that this is still a problem in high schools these days.

I'm really enjoying the way the authors present each of the characters pasts.

This series has been gripping and I intend on reading the rest of the episodes soon.

I downloaded the sequels to the first one because I got it in an owlcrate and I wanted to give them a go but I couldn't move past the first one. Sorry.
