Ooh golly goodie, I really enjoyed this! Such soothing and nostalgic vibes perfect for a look into our future protags of a bigger narrative, with the characters each taking turns to endear themselves to us. Aries is such a comforting yet tragic presence, Mari's a little firecracker, and Shellsea has great dry comedic timing. The art and gui are gorgeous, the layered effects in the beginning super clean, and the writing immaculate as always! So excited for the full experience!!
P.S. You have GOT to let me in on what you did to get such wonderful painterly backgrounds!
