4.0

emotional, sentimental, melancholic, nostalgic, devastating, yet always hopeful

The supernatural elements undergird our belief in a happy ending… and this story emphasises our desperate need for the supernatural in our bleak hopeless existence.

There’s a sweetness to the blind hopeless hope demonstrated here. Again, beautiful writing from Arden.
