This excelled in the little things. The font choice! When I noticed the hearts over the lowercase i, combined with the hover state changing size -- those are the kinds of things hypertext fiction does so well.

I said this about Raven & Cardinal, but it bears repeating: more enthusiast IF should look into voiceovers. It gives a lot of life to the characters.

In the writing there was some stuff that I wish was approached with more nuance - having the "I'm aroace" discussion twice seems like a missed opportunity to show different reactions, and the size difference was played for laughs a few times but otherwise not really referenced. With the size difference, I wonder if the big/small dynamic could have played into those hover states: when Eu felt small, the text getting large and overwhelming; when they stand up for themselves, the thing that they say becoming miniscule in the moment? Or Eu's yellow text hover state always being different than Gabe's?

This is sweet, this concept is a fun way to explore the protagonist's pressures.
