Everything is fine!  No, seriously, it is - it's super duper extra never been better everything's  – wait, do you think Eli's gonna kiss her tonight at midnight? Do you think he loves her back? Do you think he – no, no, no one’s got a drinking problem, and the panic attacks are just, no, they’re – it’s fine, everything’s fine!!  Right?  Right!  This comedic exploration delves into the complex territory of love, loss, and the resilience to choose life in the face of incalculable loss.
