what a journey me and this game have had. i started this game way back in summer of 2021, where i was stressed anticipating the horrors that would be my first semester of college. in that time, seeing these characters i grew to love live their daily lives gave me comfort and i applaud nasu's writing of the slice of life elements ten-fold. just watching these characters have fun, give tidbits of their life never before revealed, real talk with each other as these 4 days loop on, is a experience that couldnt be replicated anywhere else. the plot itself is also great, showing a life without any hate couldnt exist, a fear of death that would lead you to hurt people you care about, the fear of being forgotten, of being ordinary. bazzet's plea is an sympathetic one and it works. after an on and off reading of this story, i felt like the plot points accelerated the more stressed i got. the fears peaked as i take a break from college and suffer from anxiety and self loathing. but the story's ending is hopeful, bright and accepting. nasu's writing still holds as being emotionally powerful and well written, if a bit confusing and hand wavey at times. i enjoyed my almost 2 year journey with this game, and recommend it to anyone familiar with fate/stay night who wants 4 more days of fuyuki.
