Loved the first season of this show, and hope we get a second season! Lito had some hilarious scenes, and Sun was just wonderful.

> Jonas and Angelica belong to Whispers’s cluster

I don’t believe they can be part of Whisper’s cluster, as in the first episode, Whisper could see Angelica, but said “Oh, is Jonas here?” while she was talking to Jonas. He couldn’t see Jonas, but if Jonas \*was \*in his cluster, he would have been able to see him without the making eye contact bit first.
