This is a short review for a short poem lol, but there's not much to review. What little is there, however, is exceptional. I think the thing to note, primarily, ...

So, this was an interesting read. Not a... bad one, exactly. The story is pretty bog-standard and the emotions, moments, character beats - even in this short a piece - ...
