Some parts were a little unclear, but im allowing myself to go back and read it in the future. Perhaps it'll be clear then. Otherwise, I enjoyed the experience of reading it.

This was a beautifully crafted visual novel that delved deep yet simply into the realities of coping with grief as a young person. It was balanced with just enough emotional growth and hope to feel warm and fuzzy. The contrast and balance between Willow and Pilu's experiences with their individual families worked together beautifully to carry them through their journey together. I'll look to acquire a physical copy of this to add to my shelves for cozy rereads when my heavy heart needs a little hope.
