I "appreciated" the fact that Liam's spiraling and paranoia turned out to be truthful, in the end. I was expecting him to be making things up in his mind, that there was nothing between Ffion and Jonas and the whole thing to end up in a "watch out not to overread things where there are none and not just race along with your own mind". Which I think would have been important, but a little bit more predictable. This way instead you do get the same message cause of his flipping out, but you get as well to think about how such an implant would actually influence our behaviour, and how as of now you can perceive and let go of simple gestures or signs (even in the initial interview) that we may focus too much or too little on, depending on the person and your view on it. And how sometimes ignorance may be a bliss or a curse. Not to mention the relationship with memories and the risks of living in the past - which Liam fully gets overcome by in the ending.

Aha. An ode to overthinking!

Many thoughts to ponder over, great achievement.
