I really like Amber so far. She's perceptive and thoughtful about what's going on around her, even the parts that don't affect her directly, and she seems to have a measured perspective on the high society hype: not fooled by the smoke and mirrors, but also not looking to rebel without a goal.
Robert is scary, but not as much as A's audience; at least Robert is one person with an agenda, not millions of people operating off knee-jerk reactions and feeding into each other's outrage. Having that many obsessive fans who can pretty much watch A's every move sounds horrifying, and it's clearly giving her more trauma.
Of course, the steady stream of trauma isn't helping A and Basil mend their relationship. We didn't get to see as many of Basil's feelings and reactions this chapter, but it looks like A isn't ready to forgive him after the science center incident. I'm not sure what, if anything, could change that - especially when she can't get any sort of neutral party to weigh in. Speaking of which, I wonder how therapy works when everyone has onboards; is doctor-patient confidentiality just gone now?
Also wondering if the ripple effects from this event have anything to do with the riot that started in the last W chapter.
There's nothing here!
