Honestly amazing, although incredibly lewd at times. A story about finding romance in the crux of familial decay, a tragically normal tale for trans people. I absolutely love how insecure the naturalism is here. To illustrate, I will quote the best examples:

"Hey", I say as I wave back. I doubt she hears me, since I forgot to raised my voice, even though there's a good distance between us."

"It would have haunted me forever if I hadn't seen her all night."

""Can I sit here? Do people ask if they can sit somewhere? I usually just sit." "

I recently had a girl stay over for only 36 hours at my families house and I was so insecure, when you're around people for the 1st time you feel an urge to put on the best face but it generally falls apart super quickly. It felt mundane but also terrifying, the precarity of it all. Of being seen for the bodysituation you exist in.

Romance is in saying somebodies name back to them simply, I was anti-romance for a long time but I understand now that its as simple as that.

This is a visual novel but also an aesthetic treat for anybody that can deal with an erotic transgirl relationship. We've almost all met online, because there's only roughly 7% of us on earth, and most of us are in hiding. As such, Love meets beyond the flesh.

The biggest fortress of insecurities holds nothing else but an uncontainable yearn for intimacy.
