With Halloween over, Gregory-kun is back from the Twilight Zone…well, or at least he’s back from that Twilight Zone, and in the everyday twilight zone he had been in before. What he didn’t bring back, of course, are any answers…who, indeed, was that other little kid? And what did the sepia-toning and the outdated outfits imply? As usual, the Twilight Zone is better at raising questions than answering them…but I guess it wouldn’t be much of a twilight zone if that was any other way.
But Gregory has more pressing challenges to deal with right now…he still has to confront Mori-senpai, and with bad news, to boot. He’s bracing himself as well as he can…and I think that’s actually pretty well, everything told. I’m quite sure he could have withstood Mori-senpai’s effect without too much damage this time, if he hadn’t happened to walk in on him at the most inopportune of moments. No amount of mental preparation could have shielded him from the full effect of Mori-senpai’s sparkliness when he’s only in his undies. It’s completely off the charts, rivaling any 4th of July fireworks in terms of candlepower. Gregory stood no chance.
So, yeah…if you belong to the cast of the BMC, the horror doesn’t stop once Halloween is over…
More on Thursday.
