Finally got round to finishing reading this and I really liked it! You've managed to hit the right balance with adding some humour to a grim situation without detracting from what's interesting about the story. Definitely made me reflect on my own people-pleasing ways while sympathising with Aaron—longing for Dulce with him, and then cheering for him to move on. I look forward to what you do next!
P.S. have you ever read Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval? The setup and atmosphere reminded me a lot of that book. I'd definitely recommend it if you haven't.
