i had more fun with this story than i was expecting — it seems like a delicate illustration of grief and how difficult it can be to lose someone who knew you the best and move on from that. it asks the question of: if given a second chance to talk to them, would you ever be able to let go again? and i think at the end of the day, julie found her answer, even if it took her a while to reach that point. there were a couple of moments where i reached conclusions wayyy before the main character which could be frustrating — but i still enjoyed the story overall and the conclusion was very well done!
