      They were actually pretty grateful, feeling it had set them up for a lot of positive realizations down the line. We play D&D now and they’re working on their masters, so I guess they weren’t too badly scarred…

        How old were they at the time and how did the subject come up?

          Not very satisfying answers I’m afraid, they were probably 8-10 and I have no idea how we got onto the topic since this was 15+ years ago.

                I wouldn’t intentionally give a childhood a existential crisis, no, but I’m sure I could inadvertently. Didn’t mean it to feel like an interrogation, sorry. Was just curious.
