I don't know what to say...
This whole series has been really, really great for me. I remember watching the first one all those years ago, and even after just the first video, I was in shock.
Then, I discovered the second, and was just so amazed at the fact that the series went on, and your great methods of storytelling.
I've been spellbound by the whole thing, but this episode was by far the best. I was completely taken by the dialogue and everything, and the action scenes were just icing on the cake..
There was only one part that wasn't super obvious that I was able to guess, the fire-flower. Aside from that, I had a small idea that this was going to be a morbid episode, but I could never have seen it unfolding like this.
You are by far the greatest artist here on Newgrounds, and your story-telling far surpases anything short of a 300 page novel, but to be honest, yours captivated me more.
Who would have ever guessed that the series would have grown out like it did from a fairly small experimental movie that you did, huh?
