today, i finished the last episode of this podcast while crying my eyes out. i got very attached to all these characters along the way and by the end, i wanted us all to be friends in real life. the people reminded me of ones i have met in really well written fictional novels, fleshed-out folks, bordering somewhere on a spectrum between good and bad, both heroes and failures simultaneously. by the time the story wrapped up, i was left wandering where these characters would go next. in essence, i closed the pages, but i continued to think about these people and wish them well. thank you, mr. king, for doing such glorious justice with this podcast when justice was so very lacking in the original story. ⭐️
