@foxburrito As such… they could happen later, but also they could not happen at all and be more friends than else…
I think depends what turns out that is better for the rest of the plot.

@foxburrito Are there some reasons why Alon and Victoria stick together? Feels like they have mostly a crush, where Alon is driven more to get accepted by somebody who would discriminate him.
Like a reflection to be get accepted in the society in general.

I don’t say it could not be a genuine relationship; I say… I don’t feel the leads are tied directly in their personalities in this stage, are more about circumstances.
These bonds are something I would see later in a story.

@foxburrito Both have lost somebody at the sea.
Alon is guilty for his mother death.
There could be some truth about selkies being a bad omen, or are just the circumstances that played against the characters.
The main conflict is their internal struggle and the relationship a way to develop them, than the way around.

… however myself I’m not feel involved much in romantic tales if they haven’t some internal struggle about something, anyway.

@foxburrito It is fine: I don’t find there are no contradictions, it was just not clear how they were connected.

I think Victoria and Alon story is more about make them reflect in each other, than the relationship:

@foxburrito The concept is interesting.
Is not clear to me if the first two issues are two different versions, or if they are connected.
