I am never editing subtitles again.

Hello explorers! I am so humbled to share with you a video I've been putting together for a long time. And, by putting together, I mean thinking about it for a month and then spending like 20 hours in a week working on it.

I've wanted to make a video essay for a very long time. There's plenty of clunky places, but I hope you can look past them. The underlying story of the RoR series is heartbreakingly tragic, and more people deserve to know about Hopoo's writing skills.

I want to thank Meg'n and Daniel, who helped me put together the chronology and provided screenshots of logs I don't have. And of course, for my loving darling, who supports everything I do. I couldn't have made this without your encouraging smiles.

I've never directly asked this of you explorers, but if you enjoyed this tale, please share it. It's difficult to put yourself out on the internet, for all to scrutinize and judge. This time, I'm incredibly proud of the final result, and I hope you like it too.
