Correct. However, in English we write in two tenses, past or present. When I say entirely, I mean that there are no tense switches like there would be if you used flashbacks (Present -> Past).

Glossary, not a prologue.

The only time that “grammar correction” is right, is if the main character also thinks that PTSD happens instantly after an event, which is wrong. (And my comment is saying that is wrong).

“Not necessarily” means that the correct wording may or may not be that. However, if they were trying to “make a grammar correction”, them they are wrong. The entire chapter is in present tense. There are two possibilities for why the “correction” is made: 1. They are just wrong. 2. They are under the assumption that PTSD happens instantly, which is wrong.

“Casting down your own brother” ??? I don’t understand. What does this mean? I feel like I’ve forgotten a key part of this novel.

Not necessarily, symptoms of PTSD don’t always show up instantly. It is very common for them to show up a month later. (Tried and tested).

A previous paragraph says that he pulled that guy away from the group first.

Who and where? Missed that one.

Is that it? I thought there was going to be something cruel from the two.

I’d have to be able to remember it first.
