as someone who's been reading this for 5 years (dare i say even when it was still a oneshot) this story made me feel so seen as someone who had struggles with romanticism, the queer manhwa/manga that i usually consume back then didn't really had any aromanticism. so, i felt so alienated in real life, to the point that i had to teach myself to love others romantically. of course, i did try both genders, but it obviously didn't end well. i was also aware of aroace umbrella, however i couldn't accept myself to be one. if others can love, why can't i? this thought has haunted me from childhood through my teenage years. so, when reading tshd, i also slowly came in terms with who i am. it may sound parasocial but being given the opportunity to grow together with yoshiki and natsuki is something i could never replace.
that being said, for all the "monsters" out there. your light will soon come
