Beautiful and interesting but so incredibly sad

*mild spoilers*
would have been a 5/5 if the gayness had been most clear OR if it hadn't made me sob, the writing was excellent but to be a 5/5 for me, I gotta leave it with my heart feeling full of hope, not sadness

also wish the ending was a bit more clear but I understand why it was the way it was
