I have a lot of thoughts so I'll try to get them in order as I write. I usually like more to talk about what I thought of the craft that went into a story rather than how it made me feel, but this was very raw and sharp and deserves those emotions inside me, especially toward the end there. 

First off, the gun discharge forms for every bullet shot is such a clever, impactful narrative device, I smiled the first time I saw it. And then I let the moment wash over me every other time, growing in intensity and emotion until the end, where it felt more like a release... Only it wasn't. It left a wound that's only gonna create more wounds, in a scene that actually unnerved me because of how good it was, part of it being the incredible art.

There were some times where I thought our girl's inner ramblings were getting a bit out of hand, but then that line near the end there, paraphrasing: "Why can't I just stop thinking about how I should feel and just feel?" put it all into perspective for me in a way that felt very pointed, by design, and only made more clear what amazing foils these two are for each other, one thinking so much before feeling and the other kind of the opposite. Trying to meet halfway the only way they know how, scorched earth and all that.

There's so much about the story, about the relationship between these two that I love, and while I played there was a real curve of that. I started out finding them kind of charming, and became more and more invested and into it with every line, every way they tried to hurt each other, it was so good. I guess that's the main thing I wanna say about this; it feels so well crafted and observed, I can tell you put a lot of effort into every part of these two.

Also I can't not mention those expressions. That shit-eating little grin is some of the best I've seen in VN sprites, it's a work of art. Every time it appeared alongside those insufferable lines of hers I was right there with our girl, wanting to put a bullet in her, but in a good way I guess. I love her to death. Part of me almost expected her to say she was lying about her sister near the end there, but then came the explanation and I felt almost bad for distrusting her despite everything she'd done and said.

Anyway... that masturbation scene. Incredible. 10/10, the most normal girls you will ever see. Nothing more to add.

But yeah, this is just a really, really well-crafted game, from top to bottom. I love seeing someone else's story realized like this, and I'm very happy I got to read this and experience the girlies.
