Mahito really said "yeah life sucks but it's worth living anyway. I'm gonna make friends and I won't be alone and it's gonna be beautiful even if it gets painful at times" and oh I think I'm tearing up in the theatre
I gotta say, it's incredible that just ONE GUY wrote, voiced, soundscaped, and composed all of the music for this podcast. It is genuinely baffling how Harlan can sound so convincingly like 20+ different characters while making such a convincing horror soundscape. The fact that he wrOTE the thing too. He is every aspect of this podcast's creation, and it's such an immensely high quality that it boggles me every time. The emotions are so palpable, the characters so intense. Like, holy shit, Harlan. He's so good at what he does.
