Also, anyone who has a hard time transitioning to other things after this and needs similar content to sort of stay in the emotional headspace until that wave passes—watch ‘A Silent Voice’. I wouldn’t recommend it lightly, but I think it bolsters the sense of hope that Seasons of Blossom speaks to in recent chapters. I’ll be watching it tonight

As someone who lost their best friend to suicide 11 months ago, this is so incredibly painful to read. I knew it would be, but I didn’t know it would be this excruciating.
That dream/visit she had—it’s one we all wish for. I think I might have had one. It was terrifying and desperate and sad and I was grateful. All I kept saying was, “I love you” over and over and over then woke up yelling my friend’s name and my face was all wet with tears. I never dream like that. In fact another one I had was me and a bunch of her friends at her house waiting for her. Even then, I realized in the dream that this was in fact a dream because she was dead. I even asked someone in the dream if we could just get her anyway, but they just reiterated what even my subconscious wouldn’t let me run away from: that my best friend died. I hope anyone who feels at such a loss with their life and considers death as the only option stays alive if for not for themselves then for the people whose lives are permanently scarred by losing someone to suicide. Truly, suicide never kills just one person.
Pretty sure Nathan will turn into a vampire otherwise that was kind of a pointless twist (that he survived) unless it was just to be ironic —that the one he was terrified of actually killed him (rather than the one he falsely accused). I’m cool with the latter though I want Roxy dead so Giselle can get all her things/money back and get out of debt from Leo
