Auughhh thank you so much for this, thank you for commenting despite not usually leaving feedback/thinking you're bad at it. I found it so hard to imagine what people who hadn't seen the film would think of this, and it's so reassuring to know that you enjoyed it anyway. Like, one of my biggest worries was that they wouldn't seem like themselves because I'd got so caught up in basing them on the characters in the movie, and I'm just so glad you thought it worked.
The bit with Ben was probably the most difficult, actually. I had to try and put myself in that place as well, to imagine how he would react - and I just couldn't quite see him taking charge and putting a stop to it. It was partly the fact that these are people he loves and they seem happy, and partly his unfamiliarity with being the grown-up. That was something that really interested me and I sort of wanted to get into it more, but the story was so focused on the idea of the three of them being basically blind to everything but each other that I couldn't.
