A few years ago, I fell in love with my straight college roommate. He was a swimmer and he was beautiful - we'd talk for hours, hang around in our underwear, sleep in the same bed, drink ourselves silly, and do nearly everything together. We were practically joined at the hip for a year. I could recognize his smell from hundreds of meters away. I was so fucking in love with him, and I didn't know how to cope.
So I lied to him.
I never said anything... at least not until everything blew up in my face. I think I'm still reeling from it.
I just wanted to tell you that this visual novel means so much to me. Not because it makes me feel like I'm living some alternate-fiction fantasy, but because I am learning that... maybe I should've told the truth. And even if we wouldn't end up like Braden and Zack, maybe I would find my own way to love him.
I love this piece of work, and I love you for making it. Thank you.
