Great delivery of Ender's thought process. I genuinely have no idea why this story has not been reviewed yet. The way you managed to incorporate Ender’s fear for Peter and love for Valentine, and the fact that this was pure and unadulterated friendship just made it all the more realistic – ergo impacting. Honestly, I hope to see more written from you in this fandom.

Thank you very much for posting, I think you have got a firm grip on Ender’s personality, something that cannot be said for every writer on this website (though they are still very good, the slight misinterpretations takes away from the story a bit). Even the ending sequence with Alai and Ender joking about the sizes of their hands helped solidify the ground on which this structure was built.
