Character Comparison -
As a person just like Holden who has such mental illnesses as depression some of the things that Holden says hit close to home. I relate with Holden on how a lot of things, like how he just says that certain things make him depressed and he doesn’t really know why. I don’t know if Holden or I would get a along considering that I get the vibe that he does not really like a lot of people for long.

I don’t think that it’s common in someone who is mentally stable to thank their deceased brother for not letting them disappear. We see more of Holden and his disorders in this episode and that’s why I believe this episode was
