An incredibly unique and compelling read that's absolutely worth checking out, even if just for its presentation style alone - with (to the best of my knowledge) nothing else in the FVN space really feeling like it. Which isn't to say that the story is bad - Tula is a compelling main character, with a vibrant inner world only matched by their dry and antisocial behavior - it's the kind of story where you slowly watch as someone makes all the wrong choices over and over again, and you don't really agree with any of it - but you certainly understand where they're coming from, given their life leading up to here.

I do think it's worth pointing out the odd anti-romani sentiment within the story, both in the usage of slurs to refer to a certain character and in some of what occurs in the finale. I certainly don't think the story encourages it or treats it as good in any way (like I said, Tula did not feel particularly likeable to me), but it's an odd detail that remains mostly unaddressed, effectively turning said character into nothing but a tropey plot device. 

That said, I do hope that this could potentially be altered or fleshed out further once the jam rating period ends, because I think it's an unfortunate blemish on an otherwise really good story.
