if he looks like your love, and talks like your love, does it matter if he's not? can you fall in love with a facsimile, wholeheartedly, or will the real thing always haunt you? can you love the memory so much you stop caring? open wounds that will never heal...enjoyed how this played with body horror and identity similarly to 'the summer hikaru died' and there is the question of agency--hisao was born for his brother's sake and raised only for his sake, is that something someone can overcome? how do you give someone who was born to die survival instinct? love was not enough. adored the beautiful and eerie illustrations.
