This was so short. I didn’t realize how short. I believe this is set after Vol.4 and before Vol.5.  Charlie has just come back from in-patient care and it’s Christmas! It was really nice to hear each of the Spring children’s view during such a difficult time. I held it mostly together during Tori’s and Charlie’s, but man did Oliver break my heart. His limited understanding still providing so much guidance. 

I will say I didn’t really like the voice actor for Charlie or Nick. That’s not how I hear them in my head. I hear them younger, I think. Although, I guess by now he’s what? 16-17? So maybe they would sound like that. 

It was a very accurate depiction of what it can be like to stick out in such painful ways. I definitely related.
