   Summary

   Yesterday was great.

   They played games together, they talk about girls and school, and everything was an awesome sauce.

   Today isn’t that great.

   Toby doesn’t know what changed in Jim. Maybe his new lock of white hair is the most obvious, but his attitude? Gosh, is like a whole new and terrible person has taken over his best friend’s body.

   Jim says ‘Trust me’, and Toby wants to trust him…

   The stains of blood don’t help.

   —

   Or, I make the movie ending 100 times more angsty. Because Jim deserves (no he doesn’t, I’m crying) the karma from his actions.

   Update! Is not even karma anymore, just straight up torture.
