This is... oh my gosh, this is amazing. I love how you used the different styles of storytelling and wove them together! It feels like a gathering of accounts taken from the different headspaces the characters were in at the times of the events. And the imagery, just, oh yes. Thank you so much ♥

Ooo! I really enjoyed this. I liked the different ways you presented dialogue, as well as the repeating lines in the parentheses matching along with the action-- definitely a cool style! Making a metaphor into something physical was also an interesting route to take, and it worked well. Kudos!

Beautiful and dreamy and fairytale-like. I expecially like the myth of Prometheus and the new meanings given to the iconic canon scenes.

Remarkable. People speak of the lightness of love, but it is true. In reality there is a solemnity and a certain gravity involved as well. A heavy lockbox in your chest. Very well done and quite poetic.
