The three-hour wait. My heart-pounding anticipation. The awe of witnessing a hero from adolescence speak about manga. Being humbled by Boichi's soft-spoken modesty. The fervor and excitement of every last Dr. Stone fan in attendance.

Over a month later, I still can't believe it, but here we are with the fruits of my own passion. I'm ever grateful that I had this opportunity.
