Thank you so much! Catharsis is one of the main emotions I want felt by the end of this story. It's not done often in media, but I think it feels really good. I think it's not done often because it takes a lot of time to get to that point but that's another conversation.
Thank you for the response! And for the reassurance that there will be a cathartic payoff at the end! Not gonna lie, I was starting to question whether it was healthy to keep following such an emotional story when I didn't know whether it would reach a conclusion I could live with. I don't put my heart through a wringer just for the experience, but rather because the pain allows for an even greater joy when we get that longed-for reversal. Now that I know you understand that, I feel safe to keep going. You're a great storyteller. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
