story and characters were so incredible!! (except lucy i think her pov was kinda unnecessary and boring) absolute banger way to do 'all the characters living inside their own worlds', where each understands what's most important to them and has to go through the process of expanding their scope to others.
I was a bit annoyed by the constant pov switching. it would switch between completely different scenes and characters mid chapter but stayed within the same pov and scene between chapters, which got kinda jarring :/ weirdly it felt like this was written for a visual medium, like comic/manga or tv? where the pov switching would feel more natural because you can immediately see the difference visually. down to the cartoon style villian shouting shizuka's name into the sky at the end lol
also i may know nothing about violin but i do know undertale. in my mind shizuka starts the medley with hopes and dreams (betrayed by a friend) to recognise her initial motivations and how they've changed :p
