I find it sad that you feel the need to explain yourself. People should know by now that this is just a story, no need to get angry. Getting emotionally invested is one thing but to criticize the author so harshly because an outcome was not to a reader’s liking, that’s their problem. The reader can simply move on to something else. I for one like when something something turns out in a way i didn’t expect. Reminds me that my way of thinking isn’t the only way. Loving the story by the way.
