"The Realization" is the 14th chapter of Junior Officers.
Shellington and Deborah realize that they love each other.
Tropes:
- Adaptational Sexuality: Shellington is bisexual.
- Ambiguously Bi: This is the first chapter to hint at Deborah's ambiguous bisexuality.
- Book Ends: Both of the realizations begin with "I think I love him/her" and end with "What's a girl/lad to do?"
- Love Epiphany: The main focus of the chapter.
