This has genuinely become one of my favorite entries. I'm such a sucker for stories like these, and the prose, art, and music all come together in such a poignant way. The "redness" of the color scheme perfectly reflects Scarlet's name, and the music enhances everything by inviting a feeling of "softness" or a feeling of dread throughout (I love the OST that plays when Scarlet is at school and how it represents the anxiety she has about being there). The story was beautifully-written, the way Letty and Blanche's monologues highlighted the very complicated and deep-seated feelings they have for one another was brilliant. I absolutely loved the line "Hot then frigid then hot again, fresh shame reigniting from the white-cold ash of Storge that I burnt into cardiac-crimson Eros". The later half of the story made me so tense but in a good way. This was wonderfully-written, thank you for sharing it!
thank you for all the kind words!! we're really happy you enjoyed it so much! We put our heart and soul into it so we're really happy it resonated! worked hard on the music, first time doing it in years so i'm glad you found it impactful ^w^

This comment is so so so lovely... I keep reading it and rereading it and kicking my feet sososo cutestyle like a little school girl. Thank you so much! I am so unbelievably proud of Plushie for its work on Letty. It wouldn't be a fraction of what it is without it and its music, I think it pairs really well with the high-contrast artstyle. In my other work, I tend to write in a way that isn't fitting for the inner thoughts of a little girl, but Plushie thought it really fit. It added a lot weight to Letty's thoughts, and so I'm glad that those sorts of lines stood out in a good way!
