When I was around 10, at my uncle's funeral, I accidentally deleted his last words on my mom's phone. My mom found out as she was looking for it to show to my aunt. But when my aunt came over to listen, my mom told her that she had lost it, protecting me. That choice has stuck with me. I wanted to create two characters who both love each other, yet because of their different world views, are not compatible with each other. I wanted to explore the tension between who they are, and who they are to each other.
