I want to start off by saying, body swapping stuff I usually hate. I think partly because it's always done for comedy. However this story I actually really enjoyed. The way that was explored and used throughout was facianting. He changed with someone who was previously pushed around, but this guy, because of how he grew up and his circumstances, wasn't the type to let that slide. It was really satisfying to see him not take shit where the other guy had, like he was avenging him. I think also the fact that they kind of hint that the other guy could have lived, if he wanted to live, was also interesting. One wanted to live, so he was given that chance, while the other did not, and decided to let it end. I think it's also interesting the exploration of what makes a person a person. If anyone knows anything about DID or knows someone who has DID, this is especially interesting. Because depending on the alter that fronts, the way the body appears and is used truly makes them look like a different person, because they are a different person. For this reason I found it very plausible that the other guy would recognize his childhood friend despite the body not being the same, because his personality, expressions, and maurisms would still remain. Also I think that having him unable to return to his original body gives the story weight, there's a bittersweetness. He got to live, but he's lost so much. Also the fact that this story is the authors first makes me very excited for there future works. They already showed that they can explore these interesting topics, so I'm looking forward to seeing them go even further in the future.
