at first it was haha strange bug man book,

then suddenly i’m relating to a giant beetle man and i’m sad.

I love reading what everyone else gets from this book, because it’s always a different response! a favorite I’ve read one person say is that they took it as a metaphor for suddenly having a disability that prevents the character from working or caring for themself, and that brings stress and shame to the family
the ending really hurt me to read ughhh
it’s like what your brain tells you will happen during a bad depression episode
emotional sad tense fast-paced
