I went into the short story on Alaya thinking this would be some sweet afterstory between Tirs and Biel... and holy crap it was NOT what I expected at all. Yes, there was some sweetness, but the rest was... something else. The artbook is seriously worth the five dollars just for the short story, although it gives way more questions than answers considering that I thought it was an epilogue/filler of sorts... Not fair at all :'(
The short story opens up a whole can of worms that I didn't think we'd get. I almost want to beg for a continuation so we can properly see what happens. But well, that seems unlikely... Either way I adored it and I adore Biel as well (I am a bit too pleased that it's Biel's route for the short story, but I digress)
