Idk I’m still kind of suspicious of Cas in all of this. I don’t want to be but Jem’s comment about Cas a few chapters back and his mood swings now are really throwing me off. Also Tom’s description of him and when he saw the photo of your dad. How he said it could be him, not that it was for sure him. I guess it could’ve also been Nick taking on the form of your dad or even Cas. You’ve definitely got your hands full here!! Alexei is my absolute favorite and I love the bond you’ve formed with him.
