I came back to reread “Shutline” after a friend told me it ended and I was in disbelief like no way; it feels like yesterday I stopped reading after the last hiatus. Really reaching the end feels like the end of a five-year relationship, only with happy tears. After not reading for so long, being taken up with life, work, and academics, it hits different. With so many old stories being somewhat completed or dropped, it feels like a thank you for being there when I “stayed up late bingeing on a school night, binging like crazy, bye”.
Nevertheless, goodbye, Shin, Jake, and the multitude of characters I’ve come to love and dislike.

P.s I’m hoping we get side stories
