Emotionally gripping and engaging from start to finish. I was worried the story would be far too short, but it was actually the perfect length. It was focused and didn't overstay its welcome. The presentation with the title screen at the very beginning and the abrupt ending do wonders to set the mood. The way the art "deteriorated" too as the reality of the situation set in was phenomenal.
My only main complaints are minor, and solely have to do with the prose (saline solution to describe tears is a choice), but that's really it. Keep up the amazing work!
