very slight spoiler
I just wanted to write this here before I forget it, but I'm in Act III right now (I don't know how long this VN is, nor how far in I am so far) and I can't help but notice all the similarities this story has to Umineko. So much so that it feels like an intentional inspiration. And it's great! I just wanted to say: I see you, I see the vision. Rian's backstory felt familiar to me, but it broke my heart all over again. Hats off!
