Not familiar with this series, but why is this marked as doujinshi if it's from the same author?

Hmm. IF Timeline seems like it's going smoothly. I hope it continues to be this way.
That being said, it all feels hollow. I feel like I shouldn't be reading this, and here I am. I've already seen the 'Bad End'... And in fact, there are no 'Bad Ends' or 'Good Ends'. What we saw in the main series is what 'happened'.
And yet, here I am. Reading this. I feel conflicted.
What should I be feeling by the end of this doujin run? Relief? Nothing? Happy? Hollow? Sad? Disappointed?
I don't understand. I don't understand at all. The author is definitely not using 'spite' as the primary motivator for this, so... what is it, then? I know they said they wanted to explore the backstory more... Is this just to give context then?
Then a small part of me wonders 'What does it matter?' But... it probably does to a small part of me.
Umeko does not exist in this timeline. Simply 'Happiness'... I suppose. Whatever that may be.
I still don't understand. More than ten minutes of pondering while typing this and I am still perplexed. But I can't help but feel like... A small part of this is just... Not meaningless, not 'negative' in any way, not 'Hollow'... it's just... It just is. I feel like... a voyeur. A voyeur of events.

Maybe I'm just realizing that I'm eating two bentos. Maybe that's the simplest answer. I don't know anymore.
