First of all, I need to apologize to Robin for this episode. I made an effort to record a tad earlier after being sick than I should have, and this resulted in my voice being absolutely shot after about 40 minutes. I wanted so badly to finish, but I straight-up could not make sounds, so I had to cut out early. I promise I will make it up to you, Robin! There's an extra 20 minutes coming at you in the next episode you commission!
It's really a shame that I lost my voice, too, because I really loved these chapters. Jared is pushing himself so hard, getting a job and going to school and keeping the household going in a lot of ways. He even decides to accept tutoring help from Bathrobe, which I think is a great idea. And throughout it all, he stays sober and helps his friend who has fallen off the wagon.
Said it before and I'll say it again: TEAM JARED FOREVER.
