hm. fine over, great at creating suspense for a very weird payoff that ultimately didn't satisfy. i don't know if all of the threads of maya's background fit together that well for me — felt like it could have been excluded to the same effect which is never what you want for what i think is meant to be empathy-provoking material. however this was a quick entertaining listen so i can't even grouse that much.
