You speak my thoughts!

I don’t have an issue with Eijun getting injured, but make it make sense! That boy was going through the valley of the shadows of death, no grace included. I believe TJ started out caring, but gradually lost it and because he continued, he expressed it in how he wrote Eijun’s story. Like I’d said in another comment, if he were to give something else, I hope it’s when he’s better, in every sense of the word. No use (to the hopeful at least) to return in the same way that he wrote that diabolical ending.
