I'm a bit late to the party, but I just finished this yesterday. I wanted to say how much appreciate this story. I tried to explain it to a friend but kept choking up with emotion. (Eventually finished.)
I have to wonder if the devs would have done this if there'd been no pandemic. Given all the losses people have suffered the last two years, I expect this story will resonate with quite a few people. Thanks, a-net!
BTW, does anyone know what the marking around Mireille's right eye is? Scar, birthmark, tattoo?
