Just finished it and it left me so, so shook. I don't even have words.  I am always, consistently floored by the skill of your writing and prose, and the depths of your storytelling, and also the sheer confidence with which you approach such a dark, messed up story with so much nuance but no clear resolution and no happy ending, a kind of story that is difficult to write well and keep you hooked. It leaves you on such a depressing, devastating yet cathartic note no matter what choice you make, and draws out the kind of emotions that I don't even have words for and I didn't think could exist in a human. I'm deeply mad that Steam banned this also because I really think anyone who read the original and enjoyed this really needs to experience this one too and it not being on steam makes it so much harder to find, but also it's such a well written, beautiful and emotionally resonant piece of art that deserves to have a bigger audience.

Ebi, I want you to know that I think you're an incredible storyteller and writer, and your variety in subject, genre, and content, your skill, and just, the confidence woven into every bit of story you write, the way it feels in each story that you know and understand exactly what you're doing and what area you're working in, both floors and inspires me, as well as the speed and output at which you work, it's so impressive. I am so glad you're out there, making all these many different beautiful pieces of art.

I started out deeply engrossed in the masterfully crafted psychological horror atmosphere, and finished it crying because it hit me somewhere really, really personal that I wasn't expecting at all. Thank you for writing this and making this incredible piece of work.
