Waging an Inner Crusade: "I hear the world, but they can't hear me Waging an inner crusade when I speak." - Elise.

Once Elise stops talking to Mel, Mel feels hurt inside and gives up on being Elise's friend. That is exactly what happens between Elise and Mel, the only friend Elise has. Overall, I very much enjoyed the narration of the novel, with the author slowly building up the story step by step, sometimes using intimate words for description, and focusing the narrative lens largely on Elise and her mental and psychological reactions to her surroundings.
