Sorry this is random but have you ever thought of how some books have it as the protagonist has to face their worst memories or fears and it's all dramatic and somber..... and right as the climactic worst most horrible, despicable, desperate, made to be a huge deal memory comes and starts and its just lemon in a paper cut from the protagonist's fav. book or irony belonging.... ever get that?
......... and yes its these kind of thoughts that circle around in my head 24/7
