heya. thanks for the support and I'm glad the game spoke to you. I'm with you on the anxiety parts. I know that some people have been frustrated by Zack's overthinking or his reluctance and doubt. But, to me, that's real life and it's something that a huge number of people have dealt with and I wanted to depict that in a frustrating but innocent way. I also doubt fault you for needing your own VN to react to this one--cause this story is friggen LOOOOOONG. I still got some ideas left on it. I also respect your emotional reactions, including bringing up the best friend from the past. I truly hope you find peace with that. Sometimes those kinds of lessons are the hardest to learn. they have been for me anyway <3
