made me cry crocodile tears. i relate a lot to andy's bad habits & inability to fix conflict (don't worry, readers, i've already gone on my own character growth arc). i'm sure a lot of fellow wlw can relate too in a way i don't see explored a lot & i'm glad i can at least do a queer read of this even if it wasnt intended to be. that is to say, not as an unrequited love narrative, but the weird protective and selfish feelings the insecure baby lesbo can have about their truly platonic friends that they're always seeing fall in and out of bad relationships with men. obviously anyone can be afraid of friends getting too preoccupied with partners to have time for them, but there's a certain potent mix of possessiveness i feel like can arise out of internalized misogyny mixing w the lesbian experience - men arent good enough for MY bestie, and also, don't all women stop talking to their friends when they get married? what about me?! its not a GOOD feeling to have, and dating men is fine, but try explaining that to a sad teen!! really beautiful experience with or without a queer reading :)) i don't want to say too much about the contents since its pretty short but definitely give it a go if you have 30 minutes to get really emo!

very very very obsessed with both of these characters and their journey. without being sappy they both remind me a lot of ppl i care about and the southwest is a place im from and travel through a lot :3 it's been a while since this has been touched and there's not a lot of comments so i just wanted to pop in and say that even this little demo has captured me and i hope to see more of these characters in some form or another, even if not a VN !!!!
