Afterword

The Rascal finale really got to me.

I, too, saw faces in the ceiling as a kid.

The house I lived in then no longer exists, but I wish I’d gone to check if that face was still there before it was taken down.

Looking back at my own life, I didn’t really have any major troubles in my adolescence, but it’s possible I was just in the eye of the storm and objectively had a ton of problems.

Sometimes you take movies, novels, and manga you loved as a teenager and go back to them as an adult only to wonder why they got under your skin so bad. I guess that’s one version of the monster in the ceiling.

I’m pleased to have been a part of this series.

Thank you very much.
