Part 7: Done. 2 out of 5 on the pain scale. What a beautiful, bittersweet ending.

Part 6: Done. 2 out of 5 on the pain scale. I've never cried more in my life, but I feel a glimmer of hope.

Part 5: Done. 1 out of 5 on the pain scale. I've experienced joy and extreme anger. I felt comfortable and then the first stage of grief came knocking.

Part 4: Done. I have never felt such visceral reactions. I've sobbed. I've felt intense rage. I feel numb.
10/5 on the pain scale. Hell, maybe infinity/5 on the pain scale.

The phrase "I feel ok" doesn't exist after Part 4. Ch.1.

It's page 314, and I'm in a maddening cycle of "Could this turn out happy to be shattered later" or "Sadness is all we know and will ever know." Do I even attempt to trust Caleb?

Part 3: Done. 3 of 5 on the pain scale. I can feel the dread seeping in, but that's not stopping my fury towards JB.

Part 2 done. I've never felt such joy and despair at the same time. Tears were shed. 4/5 on the pain scale.

Part 2, middle of Ch.3: I thought I found pain a couple of pages ago, I was wrong. I've found it.

Part 1 done. I see the inkling of destruction on the horizon, but I'm ok. 1/5 on the pain scale.
