PIAAAA oh my gosh, the new UTB chapter ! I swear, I have never re-read something as much as I’ve re-read the Underline series, you’re such a brilliant writer. Every single protagonist has my heart ! And HENTON. Oh my gosh. Haven’t gotten around to reading FFS but I knew the gist of what was going to happen from context clues/your responses to other asks but somehow STILL got surprised. Poor Ef ! I am self soothing with the thought of “Gary and/or Temsen are going to kill him.”

And Faber going missing was a twist I never saw coming ! The poor lad. The build up of Gary thinking about what Faber could do when he got back like providing insight and organising calls, only for the dramatic reveal at the end ? Incredible. Can he hypercompetence himself out of this one, folks ? We’ll see soon enough.

Hi hi anon!

Yeah Michael Henton really speaks differently once he's around Efnisien on his own, which is like, welp. Welp. We have some big, big cliffhangers coming over the next few chapters, that's for sure.

But we also have a few peak alphas who have absolutely had it, and are feeling deep in their murderous instincts right now, so I'm sure it'll all work out. Sort of. Messily, perhaps.

Faber going missing is a twist I've been looking forward to for such a long time. I knew this was coming, though I didn't when I started the story (to be fair, Underline the Red didn't exist in my head at that point), but once I knew what I wanted to do with Underline the Red, it put Faber in a perfect place to er, well, make his life harder.

Faber cannot hypercompetence his way out of this one. But he is still very, very good at lying.
