A Thousand Cranes — Chapter 26

Whew, talk about a chapter that got everyone talking! Chapter 26 of A Thousand Cranes has definitely stirred up a storm in the comments section, and it all revolves around one character: Theo. 🤯

Readers are absolutely divided (and mostly furious!) over Theo's behavior towards Craig. Many are calling Theo an "ungrateful brat" and an "idiot" for pushing Craig to the edge, especially after he's been "slaving around day in and day out" for them. The infamous "go off yourself" line really struck a nerve, with commenters feeling Theo is taking advantage of Craig's self-sacrificing nature. People are definitely Team Craig, sending virtual hugs to his long-suffering soul. 🤗

However, amidst the outrage, a few voices chimed in to defend Theo, suggesting that their harsh actions stem from deep-seated trauma and fear, reminding us that "everyone's dumb at that age." And in a surprising twist for many, it turns out Theo is actually a girl! 😮 This chapter certainly left a lasting impression, sparking a heated debate about empathy, trauma, and sibling dynamics.
