It has been made official by Guinness World Records that “The Midnight Club” has been given the award for “most number of jumpscares” in a single episode. It’s about a guy called Ren (Spence) getting lost on his way home and is jump scared by a girl with milky eyes over and over again. Natsuki And Ilonka’s First Stories, Explained With that in mind, let’s talk about the first story we hear, which is narrated by Natsuki. After their death, they are duty-bound to reach out from the afterlife (if there’s one) and assure those who are still alive that there’s something after death. And it’s also a tradition that has been passed down from one generation of terminally ill teens to another to maintain their bond and to remember themselves. On a metatextual level, it is about what motivates a writer to write a story, the elements they work with, and how the depth of the narrative can oscillate between campy and existential, depending on what they are feeling while telling the said story. They are a means for the characters to insert themselves into those stories and live a life that they can’t anymore while exorcizing their innermost demons. The fictional stories that the Midnight Club tells have been inspired by the real lives of the people telling them.
