Reviewナルキッソス was a short ride that lasted just long enough to make it's points well. Personally I found the long drive to Awajishima very nostalgic, as it's the last place I visited with my wife in Japan when we lived in Hyogo. The long drive, late nights in cars, health struggles, difficulty reading someone else even in the simplest things, and an uncertainty in their future and your own - all of it - really hit home with me.

As Setsumi burns her limited time staring at a meaningless screen, I can't help but see the irony in own lives. When she was talking about how the donkey outlives the wolves because they are useful, I couldn't help but think that a short life with meaning far outweighs a long life without meaning.

So choose your next VN wisely :)
