Holy cow, best chapter yet.
Huge Haley fan. Love how she embraces her cutness and the way the small ones can get away with mischief, and also is a realist about how crappy some things are.
Great chapter.
Author's Response:
Yes, she seems to have adapted well. Thanks!

Sleepover? That sounds like fun. I love the exploration of the harm binding can do, with her trying to have sex with him. I alos love the addition of another premie to the sotry, someone that can show Eli the ropes. I'm still shipping Eli and Parker though.
Author's Response:
Parker vs Haley, who would win? :)

Top notch again and what I expected. The clues where already there in de earlier chapters, but know we see the difficulties for the loved ones dealing with their shrunken friends or family members.
I see some people other readers have trouble with binding. I didn't find it nescessary, but now I see it is vital for the story because of the type of conflicts and drama you want to create.
When the young person gets older and realise that having constantly binded a loved one has unintentionally done harmfull things, an uneasy subtle feeling of guilt slips in and will grow like you see with Parker here. I don't think Parker planned this from the very beginning before chapter 1 but now created a sticky situation. It seems her feelings to wanting to make it up to Haley and her maybe feelings for Eli are conflicting.
Haley didn't want to damage her sister with that burden and hopes here little sister forget these things when she gets older. It is not fun when you are 16 or 20 and reflect on what you did to your older sister.
This binding stuff can create subtle pain and guilt for the human handling premie loved ones when they reflect on it a couple of years later. It can unknowingly be a subtle abuse that the normal sized human isn't even aware off. Turning a lively premie with goals, ambition and creativity into an obidient complacend pet. His or her personality changed so much that at one point the human brother, sister or friend comes to the realization that the person they loved, respected and cared for is no more or that the motivation they had as a full sized human is gone.
Author's Response:
Yes, binding is vital for certain senarios to be possible, but it's also a manifestation (perhaps to an extreme) of what it would be like to be entirely within the grip of a human hand. We can imagine, but we can never truly know, at least not until they invent some full sensory VR at some point in the future. :)
Also good insight on what could happen if humans abuse their power over premies. A lot to think about, a lot of possibilities.
