this was so tender and loving! i have been talking a lot with a friend about how one of our favorite parts of character driven stories is when an author can successfully navigate the dance people do--where there's SO MUCH each person doesn't know, in turn leading to so many misunderstandings and just like, emotionally compelling disclosures that completely change the direction of the scene. but how, when it's a well-tailored interaction, it's stacked with it being these two, very flesh-and-bone compelling characters, interacting with each other and bringing out something in each other that only they can bring out. so you get this interesting dance of withholding and prodding, poking and pulling, that is so expertly on display during some of their first encounters in front of the fireplace. i kept being emotionally hit over the head with the realization "oh, she's just as lost as gold is!", "oh, she's just as desperate as alfalfa is!", through so many tears... easily my favorite part of a very wonderful visual novel. (second only to some of the harder/more toxic lines earlier on ^^) looking forward to more of your work, tabbie!
thank you so much for such a lovely comment! I'm really happy you liked it! I think that things that are unsaid, yet acted upon or reacted to, are some of my favorite things about yuri media so I'm endlessly glad that I was able to tug that thread successfully. the next one should be out in january! thank you so much for reading again ;;
