The writing in this episode is completely exquisite. Side A had me crying the most. I'm favoriting it so I can listen to it again and again.

[@nickpayne92986]

i cry every episode. i want them to be free so bad haha. this is new. and important. and perfect.

[@bowserboy26578]

Well that was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions. A fun one too. Can't wait to see where it goes now.

[@juliethewizard8275]

When you look at the clock and it's minutes from being 2:05

[@FionnFisher]

'go ahead and destroy this one'

[@beckettb8357]

Jeez, I feel like the plot about the narrator and the listener's relationship as little kids is about me and my friend Lillian when I was little. I haven't seen her since I was four, but we still have some sort of connection that keeps us close. I like to imagine it's her making these tapes. Our relationship was super intense and one day after being best friends for a very long time, she just up and moved out of nowhere. I haven't spoken to her in a very long time. I miss her.

[@RabidDogma]

I also have a friend like that. Keith. I haven't seen him in over 30 years, easily. We were barely more than toddlers. I miss him.

[@screamingweevil3410]

These two comments left me nearly sobbing. Oh gods.

[@asuinci]

I'm not crying I'm not crying I'm not crying

[@remanjecarter2787]

[@raingloom5334]

WHY HAVE I NOT LISTENED TO THIS SOONER GRAHH

[@lemonexhaustion8525]

This needs more views

[@ellishotomani1462]

I trust you.

[@luzcapurro2591]

it is 2:05 at the time i'm listening to this for the first time

[@thatpersonwiththerandomani5166]

So i think we can assume the artist in this episode is Claudia

[@quiroz923]

I'm confused. IDK why, but for some reason I had thought that the speaker and the listener were siblings. Like, actual siblings?? Did anyone else get that somewhere? And now turns out they're not?

[@thatpersonwiththerandomani5166]

probably because of how close she apparently remembers them being also I believe at one point she referred to a person who looked like the listener but younger or older. i thought so too when she first started talking about their past but at some point she brought up them talking about their siblings (her brother and the listeners sister I believe)

[@lonecleric]

The listener (Oleta) has been able to recognize his older sister post-childhood, which shouldn't have happened. (In fact I think it's the reason why he's in the Institue.) The voice (Esther was it) remembers _him_ from her childhood, which shouldn't have happened either. (And in a recent session she stated she felt jealous that he remembered his sister, but not her.)

[@quiroz923]

Gilles Duchesne okay, i do remember something like that... but wait... Oleta is a man? Not a woman?

[@lonecleric]

You know, I just had assumed the listener to be male... In retrospect it appears I was wrong.

[@carolinebulgarelli1362]

she says iterated a lot. not complaining, just noticing.

[@FionnFisher]

its all from the fly thing in the first episode.

[@bluegummybear8667]

i thought it was a dragonfly, since the logo looks like one.... could just be me tho

[@FionnFisher]

could be either

[@BrunoBorgna]

if she was 9, 7 months and 4 days old, having waited for 4 months and 27 days would make her 10 + a month. Get your math straight, WTW.

[@therainbowmarbles]

7 + 4 = 11 months ; 4 + 27 = 31 days ; 31 days = 1 month ; 11 months + 1 month = 12 months... A year is 12 months. She'd be 10 exactly. Get your math straight, Bruno. :P

[@BrunoBorgna]

I got owned! thanks for pointing it out
