“I’ll only exist less.”

I didn’t appreciate that line enough when I was pre-reading. It’s rare for such a short fic to have so many strong sequences, spoken lines, and ideas. This enigmatically emotional ending especially.

Pitch perfect portrayal of Izzy as the right pony in the right place at the right time. It’s her strong character work that helps the story pivot perfectly from tenderness to ghoulishness.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Know that it’s never too late for a pony to pull her life back together.

Wow, for most of the story I forgot I found it while browsing through "Dark".
The ending hit like a truck. Well worth a read!

About time I started getting through some of your backlog, beginning with this fic.

I am not much of a fan of very dark fan fics, but I like how it wasn't so dark at first, that it was more of a mystery (I actually think a Mystery tag does work well, with how you've already disguised Twilight Sparkle in the Other character tag, among other things).

For me, there isn't much to say about the point of the story itself (which is most likely the theme of friendship propping up somepony at their darkest and weakest hours). It's the experience that sells it, and it's done well with a very small word count/literary economy. I've recently watched a video about why CinemaSins isn't exactly a good experience after all this time, and I think this is one of those stories where, as much as I want to say some feedback or constructive criticism, the pure experience of going through the story, with whatever pros or cons it may have, is more than enough for me.

Again, the experience—the choice of words, keeping it under a small word count (at least a word count I'm not used to writing myself)—is great. I don't have much else to say without repeating myself. Thanks for the story!
