| In those first days of grief, Denethor scarcely spoke to him. During their silent meals, his father stared at the empty chair and would look away in surprise if Faramir made a sound. I've always felt that Denethor would shut Faramir out of his grief for Boromir. This was a beautifully written, and quite original, drabble, especially the comparison in Faramir's mind to geometry. I've heard that people who understand music can also understand math; so it makes sense that Faramir would sometimes think in mathematical terms/imagery. Author Reply: I liked the idea of Faramir, even as a schoolchild, recognizing the family dynamic and using this new language of symbols, geometry, to express it. Was Faramir supposed to be musical? Thanks for your kind words! | |

| A stark description of the two of them, if all too apt. Boromir as the longest side is definitely true. Author Reply: And it seems like he would have been the one who connected the rest of the family. If nothing else, Denethor and Faramir shared their love and admiration for Boromir. Thanks so much for the kind review! | |

| This drabble uses a striking image and reads emotionally true. I like it a lot. Author Reply: I am glad that you liked it, and thanks for commenting! Though I have to admit that, back in the day, I was a poor hand at geometry. :-) | |
