It was 🥰 that remains one of my favorite movies of all time so when it came up while i was brainstorming I had to lean into it, I'm so glad you noticed ^-^
Could you please explain the basics of the lore, Olivia? I really like the character, and the storyline is very promising, but I'm struggling to understand how the "awakening" works. Maybe it's simply because the time is after midnight, and that I've only just finished my first viewing, but my brain needs the help of someone with a more artistic brain to interpret the information correctly. Edit: if you don't want to explain or elaborate, that is perfectly fine. But your explanation might help severe of us in more ways than one (including yourself), because explaining something to others sometimes leads me to a brand new idea.
While I'm not the asmrist or the script writer I do have a theory on what the hunters are if my guess is correct then maybe the hunters are another version of persona users if you don't know what I mean it should easy to look up online
In this particular world awakenings only happen when one is in a critical situation like a monster attack so even if you're lucky enough to awaken not many are able to survive long enough for it to matter.
