This was so upsetting lmaooo
Maybe not ‘horror’ persay but definitely horrific. The writing style echoes Kazuo Ishiguro and is really unsettling and like deadpan.
The story is about like the effects of childhood trauma on development esp in someone who is clearly very neurodivergent and around people who enable their delusions, and creates like “the perfect sh!tstorm”. FOLIE-A-DEUX!!!
I loved this story and the ending was SO insane
I’m curious to know how ‘real’ people think the poppinpopopia stuff was only bc of the way Natsuki was so certain that Piyut was speaking to her. Like i pretty much thought it was all delusions except Piyut talking made me wonder 🤔
