your writing never fails to amaze me 🥹 i very very very much enjoyed viatica, but i can feel cantata is going to steal my heart 🫠 I'm a very musical person so this is right up my alley, plus I already have some knowledge on the italian musical terms used 🤭 (side note! I ended up naming my ferret piccolo, which i thought was pretty fitting!! )
I absolutely loveeee the storyline and the characters!! the plot is so unique and written in such a lovely way and I have to applaud the various choices we have control over because it really adds to the personality we get to shape for the mc! I've gone through quite a few IFs on here, and while pretty much every IF has been brilliant, there has been some instances where the dialogue or action options weren't exactly varied and I didn't especially connect with them, if that makes sense? but that's not an issue here at all, which is amazing! as for the ROs, I think I might just have to go with corinne ☺️ she's the coolest and her attentiveness is so sweet (but don't tell her I said that!)
!! spoiler warning !!

ALSO I CAN'T BELIEVE TELLUS IS BACK!! it's definitely not something I saw coming, i sat there in disbelief when the chapter ended just there! I think it'll be cool to have tellus/coda back, I'm very intrigued to find out his own survival story and how he appears to have lost some connection to the cordis as well as see what he'll bring to the story! although i am also curious to see what will happen with the mc's cover seeing as tellus and mc knew eachother as children 👀 I hope he doesn't give away anything too big just yet while mc scopes out their surroundings!
by the way, I had no idea how much of an ESSAY I had typed out just now, so sorry about that haha!
I can't wait to see what happens next! hope you're doing well and enjoying the summer so far 🤗
p.s. this is completely off topic and you can disregard it if you like, but if you're ever in need of a theme for future IFs after this one is finished (which i shudder at the thought of), it would be pretty cool if you considered irish/celtic folklore, such as selkies, the púca fairies, the Sidhe, the goddess Ériu or the Tuatha Dé Danann and so on 🧚♀️ it's not exactly similar to what you've done before so I'd understand if this was out of place, but I'm irish, so I can't help but suggest it 🤭 and if not, these myths/tales always make for a good read!
