Finished it about an hour ago. This is a very cute story, there were many times I would smile at the pages and even have audible reactions to what was happening. But, this is a very quiet story, there is nothing in this story that seems very out of the ordinary. At first, I wasn't too keen in that, and while I do still think it was a little boring at some parts, the softness grew on me. In the story, there's many references to doing the same thing over and over, for eternity. People want to hold on to things, it's an innate feelingto cherish the familiar. But life is chaotic and irrational. Things don't make sense. One wonders how something could happen and be, and then one wonders how life itself could happen and be. So, when you try to keep it in the same place, but life keeps moving, what do you do? I think that's what this story is all about. Finding meaning (or lack thereof) in that struggle. I think it explores that idea nicely. This story seems like it was given a lot of love, which I think is a requirement for any story to be good. There were a few times while reading where I would just stare into the void and think about the implications of the things it discusses.

I would give it an 8 had the relationship not been a teacher/student relationship where the teacher is (from my understanding) like 29 and the student is like 19. For what it gives, I see little reason to why they had to have that kind of dynamic. I heavily dislike the age gap, and I'm not a fan of the student/teacher trope, but it makes more sense for the story, so I'm *more* okay with it. However, I knew that I wouldn't like that going into it, so I don't know how much I can degrade it for that.

TLDR: Would maybe recommend. Quiet, pleasant, philosophical, but don't like the nature of their student/teacher relationship.

Also, the art is very pretty!
