Wow! this one was short, but quite stylish and sweet!
I'm a bit of a sucker for MS paint style art, and xtmva clearly has a good eye for design. I mean this next part in the nicest way, but it looks like all the art was done in an hour or under. Every tool used, every choice made is brisk, utilitarian, but its not made without care. Some things are a little askew, and the default renpy gui is left untouched, giving a sense that this project was scrawled into existence. This seems a little at odds with the colorful world described in the text, something that feels like it was an excerpt from a larger story. I particularly enjoyed the rhythm of slice of life, interrupted by two poetic segments. Where the slice of life quickly established the hard facts of the story, the poetry brought the inner experience of the main character to life, and both wove together to make my heart beat a bit harder by the end. good work!
