I can also see why hallucination is possible, considering how convenient it all seems, but I think Linus just pretended to have amnesia. Unlike Linus, who had severe hallucinations, Peter, even amidst his heartbreak and desire for an explanation, maybe something to deny his fears, is still aware of his reality - even as he drank and got himself into an accident, and even as he yearned for Linus, he was just confronted by the cold, harsh "truth".
That, plus Peter had ended with:
"That night we hugged the remaining warmth tightly and never let go."
It feels like Peter would have the potential to be haunted by memories but not by hallucinations.
But yeah, there's more things that could've been explored afterwards, considering how it ended, as his link to Peter is something indelible. All government organizations now know of their relation. I feel like the story could be expanded more in that direction.
While this was indeed a bombastic ride (heh get it) Im a bit confusified by the ending
So was Linus pretending to have amnesia or did MC hallucinate? Im leaning towards pretending but all in all, this was fine. Was it worth the dry eyes I got from binging this at night in the dark? Ehh.. no. I mean, they really don't pair well together but at the same time they are made for each other... Gosh I need a long beauty sleep after this. It feels like Linus's POV is still incomplete though for me. Ugh idk if you want some action/bl then this is good. It has a bittersweet ending though (not rlly but if considering the state they are in for the future, yes?) anywayssss 3.5/5 not the best not the worst.
