We had played a little bit with the Stream of Consciousness in the first one. We didn't put it in because it felt similar to the Train of Thought, both as a device of conveyance and also just conceptually. So, obviously, that's now in the sequel. It's funny, we played with one of the emotions being Schadenfreude, the joy in other people's pain. I think the gag was that Fear got hit in the head, and then Schadenfreude comes in and goes, "Your cries of pain amuse me.
I do wonder if it’s because people are just waiting for it to come out on streaming. Is that something you are thinking about? One thing that I think was maybe slightly misinterpreted was the idea that we have to deliver more of what people know and maybe lean away from the personal. All of that's true to some degree, but I think what we're always trying to do is find what are the universal things that everybody believes, both in terms of concepts and in terms of life experience.
