The friction between the various factions and the constant clashes between kindred is fascinating. When you add in the emotional tension and occasional sexual intimacy it becomes addicting. I love watching and listening as they share these revealing moments. They are a welcome relief from the all too frequent violence. I wonder if Antoinette might have a few of those journals stashed safely away from view. It is to be hoped she’s depositing her current feelings and experiences with Jack into those memory banks to savor in centuries to come. As always, thank you for sharing your enormous talents with us.
I agree wholeheartedly with @nthusiastic's remarks!!! Await with bated breath for the next chapter!
