Man... This really hit close to home. The way Magi spoke about it was so unsettlingly similar. I was not expecting to be so moved but hey, here I am, teary eyed! The unclear ending left me wishing for more, yet it was fitting. This is just good representation of such a tricky topic, and showing Alto's thoughts on it too was the icing on top! 

10/10 would project onto again, thanks :D 

Aah, thank you so much for your kind comment!! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I was a little nervous about the portrayals. Since you mentioned the unclear ending, I should also let you know that I forgot to mention there are 3 endings! (Just edited the description to add that in, whoops.) There's a happy ending that's got more closure, in case you're ever in the mood for a replay :D !!
