A wonderful bit of euphoria! I love the way that the anxiety and tension in the story gives way to such immense joy. The music is great as well, and the illustrations are fantastic!
Thank you so much! This was definitely a project I wanted to meet the jams goal of bringing trans joy. But why not a little stress and tension along the way? (^~ ^')
Played a little... brilliant story and impactful!
Thank you~
