The slog of misery continues. It’s a good story if perhaps a little drawn out. You really get to sit in the wretchedness of each characters reality with them for as long as possible.

Helene and Laia are going through the worst possible trials life can throw, barely surviving, meanwhile Elias is just passing out at the worst times, refusing to be a team player, and making everything harder than it has to be. Way to go Elias.
