OC struggles with severe body image issues & low self-worth and loves Arthur but is convinced he's too good for her. Arthur does his best to comfort her and set her straight. (Canon-divergent) Themes of loneliness v. friendship/compassion & hope v. hopelessness throughout. Not graphic or explicit, but covers mature themes, e.g. marriage, loving sex, & longing for family.

After having lost Eliza & Isaac and avenging their deaths, Arthur struggles to cope and keeps his grief intensely private, refraining from even journaling about them. His intense emotions grapple with him until they leak into his dreams, the only outlet he's left for them. Memories first, then regrets, then wishes and lovely imaginings for what could've been.
