Simple yet wonderfull story. I really liked all the characters and how they are presented. All of them are well developed, and parts of their stoires are implied through interactions with the ppl around them ( the narrator doesnt explain every single thing that is happening or what the OP is thinking, bc its between the lines and I love it. It's rare these days to find a VN that does that; most of them find it necessary to explicity show the meaning on a interaction, for example). I think the greatest strengths of this VN are how wholesome it is and the messages it tries to convey ( for me, the main ones are "everything will pass" and "don't be so harsh on yourself" ). I only have 2 things that bothered me: sometimes the concept of time can be a bit confusing, and some moments felt too perfectly timed to happen (e.g., thermal conversation with ex or dad's bear saving OP). Really good reading and the summer ep is incredible as well, both very sweet.
