This one was getting there. It’s probably the longest arc and it got emotional as it concluded. Going back to square one each time is getting a little repetitive though. Things don’t ever move upwards between arcs, things just feel completely lateral as far as escalation. There is progress, but when we have to go through the dredgery of “starting” a new arc each time it just gets exhausting around, like, the fifteenth time it happens.
