The Owl House Fans Are Fighting Back Tears Over The Season 3 Premiere Diary Entry

In "The Owl House" Season 3, Episode 1, Camila stumbles upon some video recordings Luz made when she was younger. In them, Luz first mentions that her family has to move closer to a hospital where her father is being treated. In the next entry, Luz is distraught, presumably over her father's death. After that, Luz gradually becomes a big fan of a book titled "The Good Witch Azusa," which has always been a favorite of hers in the series' present, but viewers of the show never knew was gifted to her in order to help cope with the loss of her dad.

"That's why she loves the series?!? AHHHHH I'm so hurt.. I'm so. So. Hurt," wrote user Bacon_L0RD in a Reddit discussion thread about this episode. Another user followed up that they share this sentiment, before wondering aloud how "The Owl House" incorporates such poignancy despite being for children.

User Megatiger27 then replied, "That broke my heart man, especially as someone who also has a similar attachment to 2 series for the same reason." Presumably, they're comparing their own interest in certain fictional series to Luz's emotional investment in "The Good Witch Azusa."

On Twitter too, user @The_Water_Gem wrote "I need therapy... that was great but also really sad," amidst plenty of other users recounting strong emotional reactions to the first of the final string of "The Owl House" episodes, and its diary scene in particular.
