All the stories were interesting espically the endings of course.
The diving pool
Wtf is up with that girl and the ending raises some questions like why didn't he stop her if he knew what was going on? What does that mean for their relationship.
Pregnancy diary
Why??? I understand being annoyed with pregnant women I guess but why???
The dormitory
I think she was trying to subvert the idea of the "evil disabled person" which was kinda cool but I want answers where's the cousin and what happened to the otger guy???
