This is a work that resonates with me in many ways.

I related to the protagonist Hinase's struggle to decide her gender and the future that awaits her.

 

Even after deciding on a gender, you will likely face choices about how to live your life, and you will continue to feel uncertain every day. Life has turning points, but just because you've made a choice doesn't mean that your doubts will disappear.

 

Will the path I choose lead to light, or to darkness? The thought of a bad ending makes choosing frightening. But no choice is wrong. That very uncertainty is the light. This song was created with that thought in mind.

 

I like games with multiple endings, and I'm drawn to the idea that the future changes depending on my choices, and that I feel responsible for those choices. In this work, it was fun to read while imagining what Hinase would choose and what kind of future awaited her!
