god, the visuals. i don't even know where to start! i ADORE any and all collage work, and how it is executed here is done so beautifully. the blend of fabrics and vintage illustrations, woven in-between gorgeous illustrations. the writing is a perfectly intertwined element as well, with the style being gut-wrenching and simple to appeal to most.
i do not have EDS. but the beginning in particular speaks to me as someone with chronic dermatillomania and general pains/frustrations with my body. a scratch that goes deeper, unsatisfied, even through the pain, dig - even as liquid oozes out, it is not enough. this whole vn spoke to me as someone with depression, adhd, anxiety, etc, etc - sometimes the rot is there, it's easier to be there in bed then think about how easy it is in reality to do things (for adhd in particular), and sometimes it's okay to accept that you need help in the form of aids/medication. it is okay to wallow from time to time. but we all need the sun. (i just wish it was easier / more accessible to get to that sun, sometimes).
this is all to say - this vn is gorgeous, i have been anticipating it from the very moment i saw it. i was on the brim of tears the whole time through, a dread snaking through me from the very first line. this is really something special. thank you for creating it.
