Thank you for making this. I read this the night after having an argument with my girlfriend about a lot of what this story is about and it hit me like a truck. I felt like that kid I used to be again, who was too scared to play Sonic 1 because of Sonic.exe or thought that BEN Drowned was going to hack into their computer. That old feeling of childlike terror combined with my adult guilt and fear of those I've hurt and who have hurt me is like something I've never experienced before. I was genuinely in awe.
I've had to reflect on so much after finishing this and I love that feeling, no matter how much it hurts to experience. Thank you for making art like this that makes people like me feel like I'm not alone, that I'm not some freak who can't relate to anyone. It really means the world to me. If you ever publish a work in the future, I will absolutely be there. There are not many artistic voices like yours.
