WHAT I WISHED WAS BETTER:
- spoiler ahead -
The recovery portion of Krit’s storyline felt a little rushed and underexplained. The medical aspect could have used more clarity, especially regarding the cause and severity of his coma. The transition from the accident to his critical condition felt slightly disproportionate, making that part of the storyline harder to fully understand.
