I'm fairly speechless right now. I really loved this. I think I have two coherent thoughts right now, which I'll list to you now:
1) This was just a beautiful example of dramatic irony. I....I loved it.
2) I want to re-read this immediately.
Everything else in my head is just a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions and such, but I simply do not have the wherewithal to sift through those.
I loved this. That's it. That's the review.
