So Late in the Day

Claire writes so intentionally in this short, not a word feels wasted. A desolate piece covering misogyny where I just felt like Cathal just deserves this hollow life he's living out in all honesty. Claire doesn't give us any introspective insight into Cathal or whether there's even a shred of reflection, showing how engrained his mindset is, which also reinforces this misogynistic culture around men. Cathal only acts out of interest for himself and lacks genuine compassion or love.
