Very, very powerful, emotional scene you’ve woven here. The heart brokenness and feeling of utter failure really stand out. Fantastic writing to give such feeling.

Wow, great job getting right into the anguish and pain of it all. You can really see not only how they feel now, but even a style or propensity in thinking that would have led to it in the first place.
