Ahhh I wonder if this will wind up ending with it all having never started.....? Or ig there'll just be a bittersweet note of comfort right at the end. Well. Either way I think I'll be happy to wait and see. The core of sympathy in this work is something I find really wonderful.
And what a way to bring it full circle, and close the regrets of two young men who left a girl behind, once.... maybe she's at rest now properly.
