[ SPOILER ALERT MAYBE?]
I loved this so much! My favourite thing about it may be how the MC's family play a huge, irreplaceable role throughout the story, and they have fully fleshed out personalities, cus I feel like lots of fiction doesnt focus much on middle aged or older characters, and especially parents of a main character lol (I LOVE Thaleia sm. Like, thats mom 馃ス). So I really loved that this IF does that! It adds so much to the MC's characterisation and the stakes in the situation as well. So excited for more ><!! I hope you rest well and recover with lots of support after your surgery!
