Lovely story. :)

I love your ending sentence, it gives a feeling of happy acceptance :) if that makes sense though... hm.

Good story for the most part. I don't think you needed to put in the entire A support word-for-word, though-just a brief paraphrase or a couple of choice quotes would have been sufficient. But I loved the part where the Ike-sympathetic third person narrator couldn't think of a good simile for Soren's insecurity.
