Your work has really grown over the years. I admit I was a little skeptical of the premise this time, but this latest VN has some of your most thoughtful and mature character writing so far. The beach scene in particular was very memorable and served to elevate the experience. Damn fine job, and I hope to see another novel from you this year.

You're welcome, and thank you for continuing to make these quality VNs every year.
I gave some thought to what I think could be improved this time, and I think I would say Aoi's early characterization was a bit jarring. She is depicted as very, VERY angry, violent, and cruel in the first act, which I felt didn't totally mesh with how she is portrayed after Akane moves in. She feels a bit like a rough draft version of herself that wasn't fully polished. Aoi never blows up like that again and they never talk about it, so it always felt kind of like an elephant in the room to me.
I really have no other real complaints, though. Great job overall.
