I do like to try to blur the line between right and wrong when writing, as I feel a protagonist or main character who's always in the right or vice versa for the antagonist is dull. I feel it does add more human/realistic qualities to the characters. It's great to hear that I've been doing good with keeping it balanced. I appreciate all the comments you've left on my chapter's for this story. They help me in preparing for the next chapter. I was planning on only having this be around 10 chapters, but I've gotten some more ideas and might bump it up to 15. Still debating that though.

As for the final line, that just popped in my head as a good line to capture Edgar's mood now, since he's just witnessed all of these events and now everything is gray for him for the time being, since now he wonders if Charlie just went and disappeared, what does that mean for everyone else. I was also going to have the line before that read, "The person who holds everyone together will be the one to tear them apart." instead of the one I went with. Although, I feel I should have went with the former, because to me, it seems to fit better. And sorry that it ended off so hollow.

In the coming chapters I am going to reveal more things about Charlie, since Edgar will look at him differently due to these events, that will have Edgar being able to understand the reason for why he is the way he acts. For Charlie, it's like he always has good intentions for everyone and everything, but sometimes along the way things end up messing up, either due to internal or external conflicts, and he comes off as a jerk at the worst times, when all he really wants to do is be the nice, kind-hearted guy he was introduced as, but it doesn't always work out well. as shown in this because of how he reacts to everything.

Hopefully when writing out everything I'll be able to write it out well.
