Another heartfelt story from the mastermind behind Echoing Hearts. This is technically more kinetic novel than visual novel, so you need only sit back and enjoy the snarky, goofy, heart-string tugging ride. The music blends in with the mood of each scene, and there are plenty of little animations or CGs to break up the dialogue. The plot follows the same notes as its predecessor, which is both comforting but lacks a bit of ambition. It is about opening up to another and overcoming the past together. You will feel good by the end of it, and that is a nice takeaway. There is depth too, and I have come to realize my knowledge of Touhou lore is getting out of date. At times it can get a bit verbose, which coming from my style is "pot calling kettle black" but maybe it takes one to know one.

It may be a bit weird, but my favorite bit of writing here was the dev note from the author. As a writer I could relate with the challenges and fears directly, more than the story itself, ahaha. Reflecting back on a project is a great way to improve.
