So the story here is that I I hadn't ran this game since July (one run done in a Slyfecta being an exception) and just based on a meme idea in a Twitch chat decided to do a Finnish full-game run in our Independence Day on December 6th. I prepared for that run by playing through the game a couple of times without a timer between Dec 4th and 6th and surprisingly felt pretty confident with my skill level. That run in Finnish ended up being a 5:14:18 which would've beaten my actual Korean PB 5:05:47 in performance by about 40 seconds. Because of this I decided to go for a PB in Korean the following day and this run is the result. It also beat the Finnish run in performance by about 40 seconds once again.

Run in itself was actually really good before the final episode. I entered Episode 8 with a best possible time being a high 5:02 which felt kinda remarkable and was a feat far ahead of what we've seen so far. Likely due to sheer nervousness I unfortunately made several mistakes during the final 25 minutes of the run with major time losses in 2 almost back-to-back splits which resulted in the first 5:03 slipping through my fingers. Although this ended up being a new WR there were many moments where losing the run was only inches away (see: https://youtu.be/fy5teG8bb0U)
