your prose is absolutely stunning. you use the language of reverence to describe the saddest possible things and never flinch. at several points i was sitting there waiting to process my feelings just so i could come back, thinking about the sensory details, about the past, and about this poor, poor girl. i also really loved the use of fine art and how it contrasts so starkly with the character sprites. every part of this felt unreal to go through. thank you for this story about wanting to be good, of knowing you must be good, about wanting everyone else in your life to be good, too.
