This was...different. I can't quite think of a better way to describe it. On a personal level, it helped me better understand those who are close to me who struggle with depression, though that's not really what it's about. It's about regret without really being at all about hope, but it isn't really a "downer" because of that. It's a backward story in multiple ways, and the way it ended and began all at once was unsatisfying because I did not want it to end, but it was also undoubtedly the best possible ending because it felt the way that every story's ending should.
