While this moved at a brisk pace and was extremely readable (potentially in one day), it also seemed to spin its wheels at times without settling on the morale or message it's trying to put forth. The journey with each character is one of awakening and a little bit of mystery, but it isn't quite clear what their path is supposed to do for (or mean to) them. The afterlife and storytelling premise is strong and the throughline is somewhat clever when realized, but for a dyanmic with so much potenital, it stops just before getting deep beneath the surface or into the additional layer where it might get really intriguing.
