I don't want to hijack that thread, that's why I didn't reply there, but my problem is like Philip J. Fry's: I feel like losing friends when such a series ends, whether TV or book series doesn't matter.

When I manage to get into a good story, I get "fully invested", i.e. I'm in the story, and the characters become friends, acquaintances- even the evil ones, even they become acquaintances of mine.

And when it ends...? I cry, as if some really good friends died.

I know it is part of me always looking forever for the right ("perfect") family, and I think to myself that I should've slowly learned the lesson-- but, ... it happens - again, and again.
