Hey everybody, this is Griffin.

So this is going to be kind of a weird episode.

And I wanted to give you a heads up about it and sort of explain

why we made it the way that we made it.

So if you've been listening to the show for a while,

you've probably realized that the last couple like arcs of amnesty

have been a lot more collaborative in terms of like figuring out

where the whole thing is going.

I've been fairly hoping about how I don't have this big structured plan

like I had for balance.

That's been really exciting for me and I know it has been for the boys too.

And in sort of setting the stage for the finale,

we all kind of decided that we wanted to make that last little bit of world building

also fairly collaborative before we threw all the characters in and you know,

see how they fare.

And it's still kind of up to me to form the adventure,

if you will, of that final arc based on like the decisions that the boys have made

about their characters and how they've responded to the events of the last

episode.

And so it's not just like we're fully scripting the whole thing out.

Rather we're just sort of setting the stage,

I think is the best way to put it.
