the show honestly took me by surprise. at first, i thought it was going to be just another mystery with a big twist coming up, but it wasn’t about that at all. what really struck me was how the show subtly makes you realise how easy it is to empathise with the perpetrator while completely forgetting the victim. it’s such a smart and unsettling narrative choice. the whole show is basically a reflection on how society often erases the girl from her own story, centering everything around the boy, his pain, his excuses, his reasons.....it makes you sit with that discomfort and question why we’re wired to find justification instead of accountability. haunting, thought-provoking, and honestly, one of the most quietly powerful shows i’ve seen in a while!
