Because it was like, oh, wait, no, we're supposed to be on Do Not Disturb.

It was like it caught itself fucking up.

It was the weirdest thing.

God, don't leave me a visual voicemail.

Yeah, I didn't want it to be Bach because of the implication that we have mortals hurting other mortals with black magic that it puts Harry in a position where he has to confront them and maybe stop them using because I don't know how much force he's going to need to like make them behave.

Yeah.

The fact also that not only is it boxed, it turned out that it was throwing the magic, but it really was some of those guys, those assholes from the Brotherhood that we met last podcast, that were harassing the people at Box Bookstore.

Yeah.

So it was just a bunch of bad, like, actions from people that I want to have, I want better from.

Yes.

On the flip side, because there's always a fucking flip side.

Constantly reminding myself that these are deeply, deeply traumatized peoples that have lived through an unimaginable occurrence.

Their whole entire worldview has been shifted, which I've been thinking a lot about.

The magnitude of the shift that occurs in these books and wondering about real life.

Like, has something happened that so fundamentally shifted people?

your entire way you know the way the world functions.

And I've been thinking about that a lot, and I've come up with a couple of, like, singular instances, but nothing of the magnitude of what's happening in the books, because I don't know how real life could match something as, like, the supernatural being showing up with a weapon of mass destruction and leveling the city.

You know what I mean?

But, so...

as irritated as I am with the behavior of both the brotherhood and the kids at the bookstore, the guys, the people at the bookstore, they're just scared.
