Consider my chakras clenched.
Entrancing narrative of young-adult alienation, seeking purpose in obsession, and dulling danger-perception through exposure and trust.

There is a pervasive sense of doom that Ana radiates as she is pulled in by the overwhelming gravity of the moon. The pacing, the foreshadowing, the tone; all danse together as we watch Ana be pulled along by the red string of fate that her particular views, experiences, and life have tied her to.
Incredible character writing, and design! I love all the little details that guide ana to lower her inhibitions; her sense of security from obsessing over true crime, her beliefs surrounding harm always and only coming from men, her catholic upbringing leaving her needing similar higher powers to place her faith in.
Excellent work with the visuals; they flow together seamlessly.
As a tonal album pairing, I would recommend "Burn Pygmalion!!! a better guide to romance." by The Scary Jokes.
