This was superb. Loved it from start to finish. I have loved the lyrical, poetic feeling of your writing for a while (I follow you on Tumblr/Ao3) but finding it in an IF game was simply wonderful. Just the perfect fit.
Played it on my phone and my PC (so had to do some repeating) but I think I made it to the 'best end' somewhere in the 40s. I got stuck for a little bit before realizing that I had to go south eventually.
Stayed with Jo because... I mean, it's only fair. They gave up so much for us, even 40 lives isn't enough to repay. :)
