Shit got real.

I think this is the kind of series that you grow up alongside-- that was definitely how it felt when I read it for the first time as a kid-- and this is the point at which you realise that maybe the world is a bit fucked and adults also don't know what they're doing and you start to feel the weight of that responsibility but also you're still a kid, y'know? Maybe it's just me. It got that feeling pretty much spot-on though.
