Just finished reading it after your suggestion. It was pretty damn neat! I always love getting some more background info about characters like their past. I adore the characters in it and am fascinated by how many lessons you managed to fit into what seems like a short amount of pages so fluently. Denying fear and being truthful regardless of the possible prejudice, how acceptance can sometimes only be brought about by the a different viewpoint, how the truth can be stifled or denied out of sheer influence (the jury, I highly doubt Matt's dad had nothing to do with it), acknowledging the good deeds of others even when they had wronged you, and to accept the good and bad of the past, valuing it all. Tbh I probably missed something, but I personally think you did an excellent job writing The Golden Week. I'll definitely be reading your other works as well when I'm not so tired.
Edit: Oh dear, it seems I accidentally skipped all the way to part 7.... alrighty, the other 6 parts are first on the list, lol.
