this series continues to deliver.
I definitely feel that wistful melancholy over returning to your past and feeling like it's no longer there for you. Whether it's that the people and places have moved on and changed, or you yourself, that foundational part of who you were no longer existing like it would in a photograph can hit hard.
A constant reminder that nothing stays the same, that everything is impermanent.
But, in all the ways that can be frightening, it also be the best thing imaginable. Like when you find someone who becomes as important to you as Yuna is to Ema.
And their talk, even if over nothing at all, can help re-cement that fact and remind one of that foundation, that strength, to face the unknown - knowing that there's a new "home" to return to once it's all said and done.
Thanks for the chapter and continued work on this series.
