This has a nice full circle moment from beginning to end which I appreciated. I don’t think that’s a common narrative method employed in JAFF that often, and it’s one I happen to adore, so I was all for it.

The plot was rather average and I don’t think it was long enough to really get to level of depth that I wanted in the characters, but it was still enjoyable, if not fully engaging.

Think short, sweet, and that’s about it.
