The end of Constellations was so beautiful! I wanted to ask... does Arden like Gwyn once he gets to know him? Will Efnisien and Augus meet again?
Hi anon,
So, we can already tell Arden likes Gwyn through how much he shows care when Gwyn gets Efnisien during the emergency re: Efnisien not being able to eat. Arden praises him, calls his actions perfect, tells him he did great, exchanges numbers, reassures him, and tells him he'll be in touch. These are not the actions of someone who doesn't like someone else. These are also not the actions of someone unsure about someone else.
Gwyn is an unreliable narrator, like Efnisien, his assumption that Arden doesn't like him doesn't actually match up to how Arden behaves around him after the first three chapters!
Since you mention the end, you can literally see in the last chapter that Arden is favourable to Gwyn in some of the things Efnisien says. And also something Arden suggests in like the third last paragraph! If you take Gwyn's uncertainties away, it's pretty clear that Arden doesn't dislike Gwyn at all, and appreciates him being in Efnisien's life.
As for Efnisien and Augus, maybe!
