Thank you for the comment! :D
Yes, Kairi was definitely meant to come off as very snobbish. I'm trying to give my characters flaws so they can show significant growth and character development throughout the story, so I was struggling with how flawed I should make them. So did you think it was so overpowering that it turned you off to wanting to read on?
haha, does Cle come across as more violent here? I thought it was worse in TGL. He attacked Kai on several occasions. :p Here, he uses words to fight his battles a lot more.
