A really sad episode, where u might have been better to give it a happy ending instead of a gothic one. This episode, even though it ends with everyone dying, starts off with the main character strangely happy. He gets his own Medusa, who is probably the only one who actually understands his feelings. However, because of her presence, he finds himself pushed to the limit on trying to protect and strive for her. In the end, he looks into his own eyes, stressed and finally unable to cope with life. His Medusa lover, however, is grieffed over this, and kills herself with a mirror.
I love this episode.moreless
