i honestly thought this was a very intriguing story and the mystery component kept me attentive as it's one of the plot-twist kind you don't quite see coming. overall hint: its one of those works of writing where it's a full cycle of angst. ending is bittersweet, but i think it was necessary for it to be a sensible ending, with a bit of realism to conclude yk?
seeing the comment below about the relationships, well i generally only read queer works so i clicked into this story, but idk the heterosexual parts didn't affect me too much since i knew it wasn't a huge contributor or main focus of the story (thus the stereotypical events also didn't bother me too much). i'm not a huge romance person in the first place though (i considered it maybe the secondary/tertiary genre of this story?) so take it with a grain of salt.
