Ryukishi's writing style may have its flaws (i.e. fluff that could be trimmed on many, many, occasions) but damn if I don't feel what he's communicating
This reread has only got me closer to this vn, always been a favorite since I initially read it in 2019 but revisiting it has only hit home why it means so much to me. These characters mean the world to me, so accepting their highs as well as their lows come equally as naturally. One of the best parts about viewing this story, ep 2 in particular, from the lens of a reread is ruminating constantly on the nature of [the culprit] and their pain in relation to themself and the world around them, which has been immaculate. And of course, this goes for every other character as well; they aren't just pieces on a chessboard, they're all individual human beings with their own pasts, motivations, and experiences shaping the ultimate 'self' they are. Being able to feel and empathize first-hand is unlike anything I feel reexperiencing another series can offer.
In conclusion holy shit I'm not ready for episode 3 & 4 part 2
