Leave me alone while I go cry my eyes out, thanks. I went into this knowing very little and thinking I was just gonna get a fun little ghost story in an academic setting but this is so much more than that. The ending was simultaneously the most heartbreaking and probably best sendoff for a story like this one.

You do find out pretty early that this is going to touch on some pretty heavy topics and while I think it handles them pretty well (though certainly not perfectly), I would highly encourage anyone who is triggered by domestic violence and drugging to proceed with caution.
