Before I say anything, I just want to point out very briefly that you captured Jonas's personality perfectly in Stephen. Very polite, very kind, understanding. Also, the way you've written this is just... so... amazing... (not really another word to describe such excellence.)

What you've done here is really unique, perhaps you've done it without even knowing it, but you have. In the perspective of Stephen, the descriptions are not as detailed as others, and rather quick, focusing more on dialogue than anything. This was perfect, Sea, this truly shows how these cats think- minimal details, not much to think about, not much to describe. You were careful with how you wrote this, making seem, really, as though these cats know nothing of pain or love. At least, the true forms of pain or love, perhaps other emotions. The community is flat, gray, yet you make the reader sense so much more beneath this current of vanilla. Something unusual, something, if I may quote, "Stirring" underneath the surface.

The indescribable feel of The Giver is truly portrayed here- as kind and understanding as Stephen himself, yet with that underlying layer of mystery partially hidden by the community's cloak. I can't wait to see how you explain the scenes of receiving memories, that I will be extremely interested in. :)

Reminiscence... such a lovely word, and although Stephen probably doesn't understand it's meaning fully yet, I'm interested in seeing how he discovers it.

Fantastic job, Sea, you've really, really impressed me. I adore this already. <3
