Firstly: thank you so, so much. I'm so glad you think my characterization is okay - I constantly fret about it, especially as the characters are, on a fundamental level, very similar, so I'm happy and relieved I've managed to keep them interesting.
And secondly: thank you for pointing that out! I know it's true, especially when it comes to Subaru, who definitely isn't the most talkative guy ever. But I'll try my best to avoid that tendency in the future, and I know it's easy to make tags more interesting by for example using brackets, so that is something I definitely should use more.
Again, thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!
