It was brutal, man. I don't know, it was 14 hours on that pole, two days in a row. And
it was just a deeply disturbing, emotional place to be in, to need help and for people to be
walking around you, you know, much like a street in a city today. But over the course of it and
the nadir of this experience for him, because there are consequences in this world. The ghoul
is not impervious to dying. He is very capable of dying. And we talked ad nauseum about how close
he comes to that and that he would have, in fact, died, right? That was a lot of those
conversations. We had to believe that. There is nothing left. And he just, for the first time,
says, I got to, you know, I'm a human being and I do, I matter. It was just really powerful,
wasn't it? And that's enough to get him up that pole, but not enough to get him off of it.
