imo this was a really good read, and there is a bit of religious symbolism if you dig deep enough plus some historical references

maybe not the religious symbolism you’re looking for but this one shot was really sad but cute

also may or may not be what you want but this gave me same kind of bitterness that punpun did and is really tragic at times
