the end of chapter 36 made it seem like they were going full 'this whole story's been a dream' copout but i'm SO glad that's not the case.
actually i keep being pleasantly surprised by the way the story's gone, it's written to where you assume cliche plot twists will have the results they're hinting at and then it takes a completely unexpected and unique turn, without seeming like it's doing it just to be edgy. like, it actually seems planned rather than trying to throw big twists and cliffhangers at us, and i keep thinking i'll hate the new direction the story takes but so far all of the revelations actually make sense! which is rare i think for a story of this nature.
anyway pLEASE JUST FUCKING GRADUATE so we can finally find out what it even means
