So good and tragic! I can't believe how quickly you got me to really care about the relationship between a knight and a magical talking sword. The ending is just so heartbreaking... It's kind of fascinating how who draws the sword (thus dooming everything) seems to be out of everyone's control. Is it God's fault? Gladias? Hildegard's? Was it just dumb luck, or was it always fated to end this way?
Beautiful presentation also! I all the little flourishes like the scroll speech bubbles and the rotating halo effects. Hildy is adorable.
