God, what can I even say except that I've been waiting for this for a long time and it did not disappoint- I loved all the details in the art book as well and seeing Akarsha's and Noelle's relationship evolve, I loved the first chapter and always came back to reread it for comfort. it dives into a lot of topics that are hard to discuss and I find that really neat that Ester brought up that it's hard to capture everything perfectly- you just gotta do your best, and that people make mistakes. just!! wow!!!!!!!!!!! just a lot of relatable feelings from the first to the second chapter. my heart soars for this game. thank you for a masterpiece! the ending was so sweet too!
