Lost in the Cloud — Chapter 78

Alright folks, buckle up! **Lost in the Cloud Chapter 77** threw us right into the deep end of Cirrus's childhood, and wow, the reader reactions are intense! 😥 The biggest takeaway? Everyone's heart absolutely broke for young Cirrus.

Readers are unanimous: almost every adult figure in his life was a massive failure. 🤬 From his distant father to frankly awful stepmothers and the loss of the one person who seemed to care (his aunt/nanny), the poor kid was drowning in neglect and loneliness. The little details, like the heartbreaking scene with the bird or him accidentally dialing the wrong number for his auntie 😭, resonated deeply and highlighted just how desperate he was for any connection.

This chapter really cemented for readers *why* Cirrus acts the way he does now – his possessiveness and fear of abandonment feel earned, born from this incredibly painful past. While his present actions aren't necessarily excused, there's a massive wave of sympathy and the general consensus is: this kid needs a hug and years of therapy! ❤️ Despite the heavy content, many also praised the stunning art this chapter! ✨
