dis shi was sad asf bruhhh evb was bawling😭

They never showed us flashbacks of Tyler  (the kid who died) only old voicemail. Ig they wanted to trap us in their grief, It actually works too. 

I think It’s underdeveloped/Written, due to the budget tho 





Watch somthing u normally wouldn’t😉

Dialogue in certain places is pretty rough, mainly anything involving teen interactions with each other. Sundwall and Cho are great tho, the best moments definitely come from when they’re together in a scene.
