Dang man, your story really got into me.
[Warning! minor spoilers ahead, proceed cautiously.]
Almost died as they went a-hole at chap9 even fucked me up more as they'll about to get separated and i dont give a shit if its just a 20mins walk, i fucking love both of them together, and then outta nowhere here comes ash, their "spirit animal" saved both of their ass from near relationship death. Well done to the story btw, im looking forward to your future works. Keep it up mah man!
