I loved the art in this VN, both the portraits and the backgrounds!  All of the character sprites are so distinct and expressive, making great use of changes in body language as well as facial expressions~  I also very much enjoyed the music and sound design; they harmonized quite nicely in keeping me immersed throughout the story, heheheh~

Of course, for as much as I enjoyed watching all of the different ways the interactions between Eris and Luna could play out, I was never quite able to understand why Luna needed a "handler" in the first place.  To be sure, Luna's carefree, cavalier attitude is clearly a liability in the post-apocalyptic hellscape our girls find themselves in, and thus her partnering with someone more grounded like Eris certainly helps to keep them both alive—but that's more the logic of a traditional buddy system than anything else, heh.  Thus it was curious to me that Luna was assigned a "handler" very soon after she'd enlisted, even before the Disconnect, while she was still by all suggestions and implications a normal, independent girl who wouldn't need to be handled as such, you know?  Though, I'll admit I don't have much prior exposure to this genre, so perhaps that's just me.

I was also surprised to see Luna being so very quick to cozy up to Theia, and to such an extent that Eris physically had to keep Luna away from Theia in order for her to stay loyal, even in routes where Eris hadn't been overtly abusive or negligent towards her.  Her excitement to meet someone new makes perfect sense, naturally, considering her and Eris's isolation; but even with how rocky things could be between Eris and Luna, I was struck by how willing Luna was to leave Eris all by herself in favor of literally snugging up with a stranger—and one who'd shot her scarcely a day earlier, no less, even if it was an accident.  Then again, Luna DOES have very strong "attention starved puppy" energy to her, so it's not as though it's altogether out of character for her, heheh.

All of that aside, great work on this VN!  Here's hoping Eris manages to let go of her past someday, and comes to appreciate what she has now despite everything else~
