yeah starting out this was really heading to be a five star story, but by the end it started trailing off.
the music gave me literal chills on multiple occasions, charley and eight’s dialogue in the hospital room was just amazing, c’rizz and requiem’s dynamic was scrumptious, and i kicked my feet enjoying every plottwist being thrown my way.

i do however wish excelsior was a bit more fleshed out, she was so interesting at first but after a while you realize there’s really just… nothing else to her, and suddenly we’re stuck with the most boring villain. i’m also really not a big fan of the “oh nvm it was just a silly hallucination thingy, no real consequences for anything that happened in the last two hours, oh well let’s move on!”.
also this one is a bit petty and has nothing to do with the story but what was going on with the sound? jumping back and forth between the most beautiful work i’ve ever experienced to the most low quality sound effects i’ve heard in my life.

oh well i know it looks like i have a lot of complaints but i really really liked this episode and i haven’t been this invested in a while<3
