whenever people use the term 'slice of life' i always hope they are of similar understanding as i, where works like this are pinnacle because it really goes above and beyond demonstrating the gothic beauty of the mundane and grotesque society, this story truly felt like it was 'lived in' i.e. dread and apathy and guilt and grief or i guess in this case 'grey foam' that cannot be expressed in words alone and manifest during awkward moments instead (also living with boomer parents and going to public school)

also, i remember seeing you saying that you have a complicated relationship with drawing at some point on bluesky (sorry if im misinterpreting/misremembering.) this work and its thoughtful relationship with 'visuals' art stood out to me the most and honestly struck me, so i hope you do appreciate your process beyond it being a means to an end because i really appriecated the wisdom this game demonstrated. i havent played butterfly aeffect yet but i will be sure to soon as well as anticipate future works from this circle. also im sorry i dont have any meaningful concrit in this review but i hope you know it touched me especially the ending portion.

hi kolulu ^^ thank you for your thoughtful and kind words, I'm really moved by everything you've commented. there's so much I want to say in response but it's hard to formulate, which I suppose is why I'm writing stories instead. "I understand what you're saying and I feel that you understood me as well"--experiencing this feeling is truly beyond anything I expected when publishing this. 

I often had these "oh, I understand" moments when reading eventide. the slice of life scenes where years get distilled into a few words exchanged back and forth, again and again, where you as the reader are guessing which words bite down more than others... yeah. haha. It goes without saying that I'm looking forward to reading/rereading more from you as well

oh, and absolutely don't apologize, the concrit disclaimer is just an attempt to encourage any comment! including those who may not have enjoyed their time or had it not resonate with them...well...I've only gotten a bit of feedback like that, but I also value it and the time it takes to produce it. I'm always curious about what "I don't understand" means to people if they're willing to get into it...so anyway, just know that if you have the thought of whether it's "this didn't make sense", or "it would have been interesting if x happened instead of y",it's always welcome
