Looking back, he saw the last glimpse of his art studio disappear from view behind him.

“If I may,” Sawel said. He bent at the waist. When he straightened he sang, and Slate learned what awe meant.

Slate had lost all doubt about making full Purple. This was his place. He belonged here.

It feels great, doesn't it? May your next message include the phrase "asked for the full manuscript".

Last line in the middle

I just added this to punch a plot jump:

The table prepared and ready, she reclined in the driver’s captain chair and thought about Chaz’s chest scars.

The walls were grey and the floor was made of a white tile that reflected Eefie as a blur.

JAS. See if you think that line would be more effective if you eliminated both the 'was made of' and the 'that'.

... grey, and white floor tiles reflected Eefie as a blur.

I assume it's not in Eefie's POV, but if it is, try 'her' instead of Eefie. May not work in context, but...

Thanks! It is from Eefie's POV. I will change it.

The girl didn't look shy anymore. The confidence in her eyes scared me. "We think you should leave the Dollhouse when everyone else is falling asleep."

If the wind direction was just right, and you put your head out the window, and there was no pollution that day, and it wasn’t raining, and no one had lit a scented candle anywhere in the neighbourhood, you could smell the salt water.

Something rustled from the trees and a giant polar bear stood over (me).

Forgot to add "me" yesterday.

“Guilty as charged,” Emily says with a fake laugh. Philippa throws her head back in a real one.

“You…should have…done your…research,” Castor placed his hands on the wall to keep balance. “I’m a… Scaletile. They…don’t stay…paralyzed….for long.”

The End.

It's the second time I've written that line in this book, but it will be the last. For sure.
