A terrific read! I learned a lot about what kind of a person Marissa is. If I had to summarize, I'd say she's "firm but fair".
An observation: There are 8 pages in total, but pages 1-3 were much shorter than 4-7, and 8 was the sources page. I think it's pretty smart of them to keep the first few pages short to keep you moving, and let the latter half be longer as you're committed to finishing if you've made it that far. I don't know of this is common practice for longer articles, but it's a great thing to do!
