I feel like studying dont let the forest in. Like i need to dissect it and examine it layer by layer and absorb it into by bloodstream. Ive never come across a piece of media that connected so well with my soul or thoroughly expressed my grief. Ive never seen another character that understood how i feel with my anxiety, my sexuality, the way the world interacts with me and leaves me feeling monstrous

"Dont judge a diner by its exterior, judge it by its pancakes"

dont let the forest in has a happy ending to me. The heart being his stories buried, the whole i need you to tell me if were real being a callback to his earlier conversation with thomas when he realizes that Dove isnt Dove. It, to me, is a tragic story about grief and acceptance, both about his sister and his attraction.
