I think what worries me is that out of all our friends Zeph is the one that I could see being the one most likely to be forced to work with the bad guy(s). Not because he is a villain or anything like that but because the actual bad guy either manipulates him - we already saw how insecure Zeph is when it comes to his place at Penderghast; he wants to do and be better because he is there on a scholarship and also because he can't disappoint his grandmother - OR threatens to harm his family if he doesn't help - and we know that his grandmother and his sister are the most important people to Zeph. Not saying that the other characters don't love their families, we know Beckett and Shreya love their respective sisters very much but I think Zeph stressed how much he owes his grandmother and how he can't live without his sister etc So I could see him, you know, being forced to work for/with the bad guys and having no other choice in the matter

I ALSO just realized that literally every of our friends has some kind of "family problems" either being pressured to be the best at all times (Beckett), constantly being underappreciated (Shreya), being forced into a future they don't want (Griffin) and I wrote about Zeph's family situation above .. so if it really turns out that the MC has a twin they never knew about and like .. the possibility that Raife is MC's father or that their parents worked for him is also still there? I know I will be laughing a lot if that all comes to light and all of our friends go "Oh wow and I thought MY family situation was a mess but it's nothing compared to yours" LOL
