This story messed me up. My first VN and this happened, wow.
Yes it hurts, but I am ultimately responsible for my own well-being. I chose to dive into the Adastran lake, swim under the currents of emotions, and so I will choose to resurface rather than drown. This game has taught me many things. Most importantly, it taught me how to love and to take better care of myself. Do the same for yourself.
