Beautiful soundtrack. I can have trouble relaxing into stories that are slow-paced and pretty, but the melancholy vibes put me into the mourning mindset of the protagonist. The art direction is deeply pleasing; it’s the spark of life in a somber mood. Lovely without falling into dreariness.

there were a lot of choices, but most of them are just for flavor, aside from [spoiler]the one about the bridge[/spoiler]. a story about a trans man struggling to not deadname a cis man.
