ich check nicht wer er ist. wie alt ist er dass er noch zur schule geht aber andauert kaffe trinkt und so viel alleine machen darf. tierheim arzt etc. im confused world building ist auch nicht gut. ich verstehe nicht ob fluchwerker jetzt als normal gelten oder gefährlich. hat jeder ieine kraft? ich verstehe nicht wo das alles spielt? eher so futristisch? also sie haben schonmal handys und kaffee… ende war noch bisschen spannender aber so kompliziert weil man nicht verstanden hat wer jetzt wirklich gut ist, böse ist oder da gerade von dem rein gelegt wird und gedacht hat er ist gut aber eigentlich ist er böse
