me: I know this short story is a prequel so it technically doesn't have spoilers, but it is recommended to be read after book 5 for best emotional impact, so I really shouldn't read it early because I'm only about to start book 3

me, a few hours later: yeah actually fuck that, I can just re-read it after book 5

This story reinforced the feeling that Tybalt is my favourite character ever. Also, ouch.
