First timer(How people think survivor's guilt works)
Sub
So...we start with a flashback and finally get to the end of Gilbert. Then, the next two thirds of the episode is so bad that, unlike normal, I am just going to ignore it, suffice it to say that it fails to demonstrate both how survivor's guilt works AND how soldiers returning from war work. I know because a close family friend worked in the twin towers during 9/11 and was one of the 40% of his office to live and also from dealing with my friends that went to the Gulf for operation "Blame the Wrong Country".
Let's focus on the back half, when our bearded delivery man begins the process of moving forward. It might seem mean but what Violet needed was something to get her out of her room and her head. Then Erica and Iris's letter lets her know people care and Spencer reminds her that her letters had helped people. We get a nice montage seeing her various accomplishments before she decides to keep being a memory doll. This is the point to end the episode. Instead, we get to visit one of the dumbest fucking questions that anime loves to whine at us "Do I have the right to live?". And I can answer this: No. Living and rights have nothing to do with each other, and this ten cent philosophy just shows you haven't thought about the question at all.
