Sorry for the rant but :

I knew this fight (which happened right after Skylar cut his hair, meaning his old –violent, twisted– self was back) would've been an issue from the second it happened, even Cirrus called him out for his anger issues right after. Everyone cheered Skylar beating Cirrus' old bully up as if it was brave and protective– girl no?? Now you got Skylar lying to save his ass and throwing Cirrus under the bus, which is very ironic because didn't he break up with him... over a lie? Like okay they're in bad terms, but Cirrus is still protecting him while he does that.

This said, I'm so glad he's leaving. His entourage in sk is just not good for him, not with how much they misunderstand him. I hope he'll be able to emotionally distance himself from these people and have time to grow healthily, it would be lovely to see him making trustful friends in the us with who he could be himself. Because it's not lost on me how he basically came out to Ri-in and she didn't care for a second because of her anger. Maybe in the US he could find open-minded people if Paskim plays with the cultural differences, especially if he starts college where there would be queer adults, but something tells me it won't happen in a story like litc lol.

So unlike many I hope to God Skylar doesn't run for him in the airport. He hasn't changed or grew at all during the season, and it would keep Cirrus from saving himself.

It's Cirrus' time to be selfish. It's his time to choose himself. This would be the only acceptable good ending for him to me. Everyone else is sk can get lost at this point, I don't care anymore.

It's also funny how people argued with me on this very site when I said these two are the opposite of made for each other as they are now, when it's been obvious for most of the story...

And I'll need to see how it completely ends to judge these last writing choices because they're truly something... Especially characters wise. But I'm glad I knew it'd mostly all happen because I loved Cirrus and have always always sided with him. I don't understand how people could read Cirrus getting hit and bruised by Skylar after reading all the abuse he already went through and still cheer for them, sorry. There's a huge violence problem in litc and I'm glad Cirrus is getting away at least, because there's only so much verbal and physical abuse I can see him go through endlessly let alone by his lover.

    Exactly! The fact they still cheer them to be together disgusts me. Skylar still got no character development while Cirrus who keeps suffering from those people made a character development. He doesn't deserve that painful situation. UGH! LEMME JUST REINCARNATED LEMME HUG THIS BOY
