YAYYY me too :Э he is my favorite

Hello! The programming, art and writing of the events are all done by tanaka strike, so (personally) character-wise I'd treat it as "canon" as the Sleepy of Life mangas or the drama CDs.

Number one is that, rather than reading from right to left... It opens like a western book, and reads from left to right! Since it's a "mirror" I thought this was such a neat touch?

Number two is that the writing on the back? Is backwards, but with a little photo magic, we can mirror it and read what it says. In a similar vein, the white stripes are meant to look like the light reflections on a mirror as well! And, we can also see the mirrored Nod that appears during the event.

The inside contains explanations for all the puzzles and is basically a walkthrough for solving the little event, but there are some little doodles and even full color images of both Nod when it's Mikuni's birthday, and Nod as it normally appears with Mikuni and Tsurugi inside. The entire event and all the different dialogues you can get from clicking on items is written out inside to read at your leisure. It's very lovely! And, of course, it makes for a wonderful display piece thanks to Strike's beautiful artwork on the front~

We still don’t know what the spring we receive from completing the event is for… Maybe it’s a missing piece from whatever Jeje’s Item would be used on? Like a music box, or a wind up doll…

How very sad it would be if Mikuni gave Jeje something that belonged to a precious gift from his mother. I could see him do it, too, if only for one reason. Every time he sees it, he’ll remember. What happened that night, his own hatred, his anger, the fear that drove him… No matter how badly he might want it to be so, he is NOT Alice living in a dream. He will not wake up, snug and warm in one of the foyers, golden lamplight and the solid weight of his mother between himself and Misono while she calmly embroiders and sings softly to herself. This is his own reality, a waking nightmare wrought by his own hands, because the alternative would have been worse.

In my opinion, this event… is a manifestation of not only Mikuni’s own guilt and desires, but also Jeje. How much they both wish that the days are still long, that autumn is still far away, and that the warm, soft twilight of safety, caught between the deadly rays of the sun and the cool, reaching shadows of the estate, still creates a safe haven for playtime and excitement buzzing among the children who live there, echoing up to them through a cracked window along with the chirping of crickets.

I am very intentionally posting these for #ThrowDownThursday instead of #WeeWednesday because I am not even pretending I would buy them for a kidlet instead of myself. I WANT TO SIT ON A PLANET POUF!!! And curl up in a fuzzy moon-phase sleeping bag, for that matter.
