2/3) Brian's chapter is going to be long, and I want to make sure it's perfect, so he will put probably be one of the last people Justin sees again. 1) He's not not talking, it's just that in the first chapter, Deb was being her normal chatty self and I did most dialogue in explainatory paragraph form, rather than direct quotes, and in the second chapter, he's standing on the street alone, so all of the stuff going on isn't being spoken aloud. He's still the same talkative Sunshine, there just hasn't been much talking opportunity. And for 4) Gus is in Canada with the Gals. While they may make a guest appearance, I don't really know how much of that side of the family is going to be actively in the story. 

Thanks for reading!!
