Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded; they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence. ( Chapter X - Dinah Visits Lisbeth )- Quote by George Eliot, from the novel " Adam Bede " released in the year 1859
The girl with a dark past looks forward to a brighter future together with her loved one.

This story is about Rei who has guilt over the death of Mirai and it opens with her being in a dangerous state of mind and is clearly suicidal. She is also delusional and unreliable given the narration. This story is about how she deals with the loss and the prose is so distant, awkward and unnatural that her perspective itself shows her compromised state.
To this effect it is written well. I did not look at any of the art that was linked, but I am reviewing the story not the story and its artwork. That being said, the choice to make the POV distant, cold and unreliable to the point of confusion negatively impact the story about its style. As readers we cannot trust the words. The reality of the situation is hidden. That poses a problem and the portrayal never directly addresses the situation with enough context to overcome the POV issues.
