Ah, thank you so much for your kind words and sharing a bit of your personal concerns! I'll admit I also cried writing this game. And yes, I haven't seen a lot of visual novels tackling this specific topic, but I know visual novels focusing on realistically handling social/emotional matters do exist on this platform!
And thanks for your condolences! And well, to quote the game, but actually his words, because he's the one who told me so: "If you want roses in life, you have to go get them"!
