i am so glad i saved this fic for when i had the energy to appreciate it. the portrayal of gary's grief hit my heart, it felt so real. you hit the ways in which the show depicts the humanity of the emotions and trauma amidst the ridiculousness of the setting. the poignance and the sprinkles of humour and the fact you wrote their dialogue so effortlessly in the show's style!! aaah!! so good!

thank you! i've actually not bought a copy yet so i started watching a peace walker walkthrough in the meantime, although i literally only watched the first cutscene haha. it seems as though it's another fandom like yakuza/rgg where it is possible to avoid spoilers because the plot is convoluted enough to pave over casually stumbling on something big.
