After a day to process, I think my conclusion is that Nolan thinks society is facing an apocalypse level collapse of the social contract, and he is sounding the loudest alarm bell he can

In the land of Faerûn, the people are terrorized by two separate yet equally important groups. The heroes who maraud through the countryside, and the monsters who are their fodder. These are their stories. *dun dun*

I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 29. I'd researched a story I was plotting about a serial killer who had a terminal disease, so as soon as I got the call I knew it was months, not if. This news breaks my heart all over again, because I'd give anything to have had this for my mom
