We're really leaning into the Final Crisis now! (...that story is almost 
ten years old, haaaa @-@)

Oh, man, but what if this was the last LNH story ever written? How 
fucked up would that be? @-@ *works quickly on Writer's Block Person #24*

Ugh. Yeah. @.@ I was like that for months, but eventually I was able to 
pick myself up and dust myself off and started putting energy out into 
the world, good, fun, healing energy, and now it's inspiring people and 
I'm getting energy back, and it's slowly lifting all of us and making us 
stronger, giving us the power to stand up.

Ah, man, this is Intense. The LNH's escapism is powerful, but to 
transcend this, we'll need something stronger still...
