Believeability in the course of character actions is VERY important to me. I won't read stories where I don't feel that the behaviors make sense.
This being said, the behaviors up til now have made plenty of sense to me.
Do I think he was SMART? No. But he's reeling from pain - the pain of losing himself, of losing her (because he did - he lost the life with her he wanted...), and he's blinded by that, staggering through this crushing grief - as is she, for different reasons...
I believe everything up to this point could happen for these characters. But I also think - this is WAYYYY harder to get out of then the normal revelation where yes, she's mad, and blah blah blah, but honestly - he's an alien on a planet that doesn't exactly welcome "strange" and he had every reason to keep his identity secret. Is it his fault that he also happened to work with the woman who had such a huge crush on him? Is it his fault he fell in love with her?
So what I'm saying is - I like this and please more!
