@morreafirebird Lol yeah I can’t remember anything either. Those were the good ol’ days. 😉 XD
And I haven’t been around for a while, so I’ll do my best to sound helpful. XD
Well, first thing is first. I feel bad for Tom. Personally, I think you’d want to carry the reader through Tom’s POV as he changes so that the reader can experience that change as well. Cutting off his POV might almost sound like he dies. While you don’t have to show the scenes where he goes through the pits of despair — filling in with Marie’s POV — I think it’d be important at least to keep up with what’s he’s doing here and there.
Likewise, if he’s a sarcastic character, that can easily serve to make things seem a bit less depressing. I’ve used my own character’s sarcasm to counterbalance everything that happens to him because he’s just so resilient. And he doesn’t know it, but my character is slowly changing all the while.
