**MILD SPOILERS**
My brain chemistry has been altered by this. I finished Ray's route and stared at the wall for ten minutes. I cannot put into words how fantastic this game is.
The art is breathtaking. The characters are complex, complicated and I love them with all my heart. The writing makes me scream into my pillow, I can not stop thinking about it.
"I close my eyes and sqeeze Ray tight, hoping, praying to anyone for a future that is kind." AHHHHHHHHHHH.
I only played through all of Ray's endings so far because one night is only so long, but all of the endings brought me to tears. I think this may be the best visual novel i have ever played. Heart wrenching in the best way, with a beautiful shimmer of hope at the end, if you make certain choices. MC's monologue on Ray's good end was incredible. Just...no words. Many tears. A feeling of hope despite all. Despite everything that has happened, despite the struggles waiting in the future, hope prevails. Hope for a kinder future, for love, for healing.
Thank you for creating this work of art, it changed me in the best ways and I will carry it close to my heart. Thank you. <3
