You're making me MIST UP here, dude. You handheld me through the whole writing of this and you still have energy to spare to analyze? Impressive. :D

I feel like you have an advantage from knowing me so well! You don't have to be too nervous, because you know that even if I'm starting from somewhere really dark, I don't really want to go to a place of "And no progress was possible, everything sucked without the slightest glimmer of hope, and they were sad forever and ever. THE END."

One of my fonder memories, too! I'm gonna save that email thread FOREVER.
