Not as painful as it could have been. I was so relieved that the grandfather got injured because I thought worse was coming after the driving lesson presentation foreshadowing.
Yeah, you're right; it definitely could've been worse. Though I don't think Shuninta is really the type to do much worse than what was already in this. I mean, she'll put her characters through hell, but I don't think she's the type to actually really harm them too much. That's just the feeling I get, and had pretty much all the way through.
That said, I somehow completely missed what you mentioned and had to look it up. I think that feeling would've been more than a little shaken had I actually noticed it the first time through. But it all more or less worked out in the end, so whatever.
