Ok so this was interesting and I wanted to know what happened.
That being said no one talks or acts like these teenagers did. Also like some of them were Literal psychopaths. Also I had a thought of the ending so that’s kind of annoying because I felt like I was low-key kind of obvious. Also there could have been a queer moment/situation and it kind of made me mad because I was like yes and I was like oh it’s not.This is a slight spoiler but I thought they had to have a consensus when they voted. so that doesn’t make sense to me.
