Author's Note: I'm unsure how this third movement will be received, yet I enjoyed making everything more complicated for our main characters. Things are often messy, muddy, unresolved. Sorry I have taken so long, I had these chapters finished for a while but I went to a camp for a week and that took ...

Oh god, that's amazing

Author's Note: These snapshots serve to break the routine of our two timelines, they are as the named suggests. It will always be someone writing down a memory and then a flashback. I hope this leaves you with more questions than before. SNAPSHOT 1. Garage EXCERPT FROM FRASER BY R. C. WINTER ...

Author's Note: A well deserved exploration of Shizune... I hope 8. Songs For The Deaf APRIL 2036 Her watch vibrates at precisely 514, waking her up. Alone in a king-size bed, her experience for thirteen years. Opening her eyes, she is greeted by the familiar blur of her vision. Shizune taps her ...

Author's Note: This chapter is really where I felt the story took off. Filling in Iwanako's back story undoubtedly messes with someone's head canon, but it is important to where the story goes… even the navy stuff. 7. Debriefing APRIL 2036 Forests look best at dusk, the tall trees silhouetting a ...

Author's Note: This chapter is admittedly short since I cut out a tangent about Hideaki (Hisao's son) because it didn't fit the theme. This is really about the struggles in Nako's head. Don't expect an explanation or resolution anytime soon. 6. Going Down Swinging APRIL 2036 “He’s so cute Iwanako, lo ...

This is a really haunting topic, it's taken a while to post in here. I genuinely have no idea, but such a school would have been a godsend for my own self-esteem. In grade eight I had my first breakdown, severe sleeping issues. I ended up in a psych ward with crippling anxiety. It took me until ...

Author's Note: Uh, Koru is sticking around. Movement II tries to rhyme with the first movement creating more gaps to be filled in like layers of paint. Life, and specifically generations, tend to rhyme. We all struggle to cope with blind and random happenstance. I may be inconsistent with tense so ...

Author's Note I have no idea how this will go, can I make composite characters with neuromotor disabilities without self-inserting? Maybe. A Canadian one? No clue. Does it matter given the role he plays to the plot? Even more unclear. This really serves to introduce the three of the five main OCs ...

It's good, although I feel like the dialogue is just too abrupt. Like, everyone is very direct and to-the-point, leaving no room for much breathing. I can't exactly show a good example, although I can try and explain it a bit: During Movement 1, there was a segment where Iwanako attempts suicide ...

Well... this is awkward. I apparently moved the events of the VN forward... eight years to allow me to do math in my head. I feel like this can easily backfire, as can the next few chapters. Have no idea what anyone here thinks, is this a nail in the coffin or is it okay? I feel bad about this but ...

Author's Note: This chapter attempts to round out Iwanako's fundamental struggles. Healing is a slow tedious process, if we heal at all. When people meander back into our lives they often rip off scabs in our mind. Also Emi being Emi. Cheers. 3. CLUBBED TO DEATH DECEMBER 2023 Pulling strings to get ...

Author's Note: I feel this chapter really gets the ball rolling on the story being told, in the word document I have the added benefit of line breaks to structure each chapter, when I skip ahead in time and such. I am well into the seventh chapter and have really enjoyed crafting a story decently ...

INTRODUCTION So after playing all routes for a video essay, my mind wandered to various questions that leave me absolutely fascinated. I have probably overthought this but this is all based on two interesting opinions I developed. 1. Shizune's good ending doesn't feel like a good ending for Shizune ...

This all makes sense, the things left unsaid in stories are often the most fascinating.
