I cried genuine tears when Miyagi and Sendai said I love you to each other. I immensely enjoyed everything. Shock, fear, distress, sadness-these were emotions that I felt while going through the stories. I also felt enamored, warmth, relief, happiness, and pure joy as well. In a way, it has changed how I viewed HazuShio. I've learned not to take them for granted from reading these stories. NOT saying that the what-if stories were bad, in fact, they actually blew me away. I was rooting for Miyagi to go for Ishino. I was rooting for Sendai to go for Shiina. I wanted them both to be happy. But did they make bawl at 1am when they said I love you to each other? No they didn't. Hazushio did. And because of this story, I think I'm going to pick up Shuukura again. I miss them so much now because of this game.
Good night. Please create more in the future, whether it be shuukura-related or not. Thank you.
p.s. impeccable music choices throughout. I feel melancholic writing this as the main menu music plays in the background.
p.p.s. even though I liked the two's separate stories, playing the epilogue was such a good.... "palate cleanser"? Something like that. It just gave me so much happiness and familiarity and comfort seeing them together after the 2 and a half hours of watching them build another life with another person I didn't know. Thank you again for making this game :)
