So you remember how after you got done with Agito, I said that was my favorite thread you've done so far? Apparently you and Inoue turned out to be a Best Match, because this blows that out of the water.

Faiz went over astonishingly well with you, and I think that sort of enthusiasm rubs off on everyone else. If we had a lot to say about Faiz, it's only because you had a lot to say about Faiz. Your thoughts on it were consistently super insightful and interesting. The fact that you've had people saying you've opened their eyes to the things about the show that maybe worked great after all is really all the proof you should need that you did a fantastic job with this one. You took an extremely divisive series, and made a compelling argument why, even with its flaws, there's more in there worth loving than people often give it credit for. I'm downright proud of you.

I have a feeling Faiz will maybe be a hard show to top for you? It sort of seems like this is going to go down as one of your favorites of this era of Rider. Or, I don't know, maybe this is a general trend, and by Zi-O, these threads are going to average 500 pages each, and you'll be writing an entire essay for each individual segment of an episode between commercial breaks, but it's totally fine if they get smaller instead of bigger, too! Enjoy your break! It's important not to wear yourself out with this stuff! Whether Blade ends up being another hit with you, or just a moderately enjoyable good time, I'll be sure to Turn Up for it, when you're ready.
