I'm amazed. I initially started this because I was like "ohh I'm gonna play something Freakish and Messed Up" out of curiosity/boredom, kind of expecting indulgent eroguro, but my god this is such a good story. The music is a particularly powerful part, but everything all together just blows me away. (I'm 49% in btw.) The LSD scene made me cry a little.
I still feel like I'm outside of the people this is for. I know that's kind of the point, that this is for people who feel outside, but still. It's a world of strife I don't know much about and struggle to trust myself to engage with. Sure, I have my fair share of trauma and whatnot, and cut myself from time to time, but I know so many have it way worse, and it's hard to think about everyone else. But maybe it's time I look in the hole. So, thank you.

Okay so update: the scene with Audrey's overlapping text conversations broke me. I said "made me cry a little bit" as a sort of hyperbolic indicator of emotional impact earlier but this actually brought me to tears, full-on sobbing, something I honestly forgot was possible for me to do. All these feelings and fears held below the surface were brought up in powerful catharsis because my GOD these characters and their overwhelmingly complex dynamics are so well written. It's been a while since I actually found myself able to cry and I needed it.
