This one started off a little slow for me, but it picked up about halfway through. I really enjoyed it. I felt like there was a lot of reflection about how we live our life, the choices we make, and how it shapes who we become.

It felt quite a bit like Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" and modernized it with 2026 vibes.
