Thank you for writing out your heart for us to read. The way it is delivered is probably the coolest way I've ever read a poem before.

so so beautiful. really glad to get the chance to experience this <3

i really really like this, but unfortunately i've tried playing through it twice and both times it worked perfectly up until ten minutes into the walkthrough video, at which point the two windows titled UNDER appeared with their text but the two windows titled YOU and ME didn't have any text on them (unlike in the video) and left me unable to proceed further. i'm not sure what's happening wrong but it just stops there



extremely lovely <3

it's beautiful
