This is amazing! Can I just say that I love you presenting Grace as possibly-asexual and it's just a part of her and there's no indication whatsoever in Harold's perspective that it made her lesser in his eyes, or that Grace herself considered it a flaw? I really appreciated that.

Aside from that, I really love how immersed this is in Harold's point of view, that when he's absorbed in coding we have absolutely no idea what John is doing. It's so incredibly tightly focused and I love it. Can't wait to see where you want to take this!
