@WanderingHunter_1 thank you so much for that feedback! It didn't discourage me at all, and it'll help for the future. What I really wanted to emphasize was the fact that Echo is a normal person deep down...and nothing more. I appreciate that you're actually giving me tips instead of the "it's good" approach, which makes me happy! I guess "Hello" wasn't super attention grabbing, haha, but that's how most people greet each other, I figured. So, by starting off with hello, it only adds that she's trying her hardest to be normal. And though I understand all your confusion, Echo actually is recording and informing you of this story. It'll all come into play by the end of this book, and make sense as to why she's talking like that. I can't thank you enough for your feedback, it really has helped! Maybe I will edit it, because you've had the courage to point it out. It doesn't matter whether you decide to read it or not, it's all in your personal preference. Although this may be a lengthy response, all I want to say is, thank you.
