I forgot what the Reverend Mother says about the Duke but I do like how direct the expose is from Leto compared to everyone else. He seems to be the closest to Paul, or the one that holds him as a human, a son, rather than what he can become. Love the impending doom of “thought of the wet skies …the thought of skies put his mind on space…” I love romantic stuff like this. Arrow to the next scene type writing

“… the basic trust to learn” oh my god, deep down Paul wanted to believe in some way he is the One because that would mean his grief means something. The tragedy he has to endure of what his parents (his mom) wants of him at least has meaning if he had a real purpose
Oh god, the hunter seeker… that must be so scary. And so it all begins NOW.

“I should place more trust in my friends.” BROO…
The end of this chapter, man this is all so sad.
I loved getting to see Jessica and Yueh’s turmoil. We’ve been able to see more of Jessica’s pov which is so nice to know she’s sensed a huge dread incoming. Such a tragedy that her life’s entire downfall is the humanity, the identity of herself outside of the B.G :(

The way Jessica knows and gave the deepest fear that Leto doesn’t have much time and regines will change soon. It’s just the subtlety in the writing. Yum

Knowing what Dr. Yueh does and reading this passage is so sad. You can tell he’s compartmentalizing what he has to do. His mind is present for his mission but his body begs for another path

Something about nature is the summation of what’s growing without the means of what will happen in the future. And Paul thinking “so what is now?” Paul is already so observant, curious, and with a sense of stubborn self justice which will catapult him soon. I love learning a lot about Gurney, he’s more complex here than the movies. He’s nice and genuine.
