SPOILER (I guess? :/)
Ah-ha! I knew it~ :D I figured out the MC's gesture through a few different things, mainly because he hadn't actively sung since the competition, but also when he and Ahket went to the bar and weren't able to perform :p
Xou guys have opened up A LOT of great possibilities story wise by giving the MC the ability to peek into alternate realities. I personally think this is an awesome decision from a writer's perspective UwU
I absolutely ADORE where this tale is going~ I love how unique each path is. They have their own feeling and vibe, while still aligning with the overall story :) I always feel so good after an update n__n the tale is so fun, and despite being pretty serious, it's still lighthearted enough to leave readers feeling aflutter :3
Thank xou sooo much for all the hard work xou guys put into NeveN! ^^_
(PS. I DEEPLY appreciate that xa'll took the logical route with the kiss the MC and Ahket share. Smooching a beak is a bit weird and I've always thought a snout rub to be far more appropriate UwU)
