This was just a bit too slow and ~whimsical~ for my tastes, v almost DNF, but it was very poetically written and bittersweet. Poor Fuyuko deserved so much more from her life, and her disconnection from her own feelings was interesting but desperately sad, I was hoping she would grow to take some control of her life, to act, but she never does and it is irritating. Not sure this was for me
