Prologue

Nightfall is coming and looks like Kal and maybe Zara are the Earth's only hope. I like the interaction between Lex and Lois. Glad he didn't show her a creepy duplicate of her quarters. Maybe there's some hope for this version to be a decent person.

What a sad existence Kal has. Haunted by yearning for the love he feels he'll never have, and by the fear of him. Blaming himself for something he couldn't have foreseen, or stopped is so, well, Clark! Or Kal I guess in this case.

Hoping this is the darkness before the dawn.

Well-written summary of Lois's feelings of ambivalence. I can feel both Lois and Kal's pain through your descriptions.

Looking forward to seeing how Kal handles Nightfall, and if the Clarks gave him any tips.

Thanks for continuing this trilogy!! clap
