First impressions have never been so wrong before, and these characters are so much more developed than I originally saw then, or how they were portrayed. This is kinda twisted in ways I didn't see coming, I think it's gonna get scary crazy. The experimental LSD journeys are interesting to see from a bystanders viewpoint. Such an evil spin has been put on our main character, so much trauma packed into such a fraile appearance. I'm excited about this new personality she is showing, complete and kinda terrifying. Such a mind-blowing experience...
