you know i love this, but im here to use my words and tell you again how much i love this. from the very start with the dedication, i felt like i was holding my breath the whole time, like if i let it out i might interrupt. i loved the art, the switching between these detailed pieces and the stark text. and the TEXT!!! your writing is so slow and beautiful and has such a gentle rhythm to it that makes it so pleasant to read. my favourite is the 7th page i think, the framing of the illustrations, the bit of writing hidden behind that arm that i want so badly to be able to read in full, the first moment of colour we've seen. god. the whole thing is just so stunning and personal and such an honour to be able to read. amazing as always <3
