This was a fun read (or maybe not very fun depending on how you look at it)!  The art was really nice on the eyes, and the music created a really nice sense of space for the Elysian field.  The foreshadowing and imagery are really good as well.  As of writing this post, I've only just caught on to what Daisy's swingset resembles after taking a closer look, which is a nice touch of environmental storytelling.  The subtext was solid, with the field and Daisy's possessions seeming innocuous at first glance  -- something childlike, as good examples.

However, I do think the story could benefit from slower pacing.  The ending seemed to try to tell the reader things that would have ultimately served the story better if they were implied earlier, such as Andrew feeling at fault for what happened to Daisy.  In addition, if there was another section of Andrew dreaming before the ending to really let the previous dreams' clues simmer a little more, the ending would have a stronger emotional weight and really tug a few heartstrings.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed reading through this.  You all did very well with the time you were allotted for the jam!
