"A part of me wants to finish this tonight, the other more reasonable part wants me to finish this tomorrow after my exam. It's also 12AM as of speaking, the entire experience was in one word, fascinating.

"Lapvona comments on so many things critically and puts you in a place of prolonging contemplation and wrestling your mind to comprehend the intensity of each conveyed meanings.

He says: Because you are not like all the others, because I don't see anyone but you and you don't even realize it.
