I appreciate your writing for its consistency and nuanced attention to detail, but I connect most with the emotional depth/honesty, and I wanted to ask you how do you make the choice where to draw the line in terms of what you do/do not discuss? You always seem to balance out the light/dark very well, and you know how to address darkness in a way that is never morbid, but actually productive (I don't know if it was your call to use 'Between The Bars' in Rick and Morty, but it was such an amazing choice; for me personally it was a surreal moment for its emotional straightforwardness, in the sense that one doesn't typically see it within popular mass media).
So, in short: how do you choose where to draw the line in terms of emotional honesty, or at what point do you find it to be counterproductive, as far as character growth is concerned?
