Well, Doing that thing I said again now that I can think clearly. Can I just say now, I now have a deeper appreciation for this. I honestly kinda regret giving it that amateurish at best review now.

Anyway, re-read everything, listened to the music and all that fun. I didn't really pay attention to both Alice and Rayne as people, or the setting much, but rather just them as characters. If that makes sense. Having done all of the above now (plus the music), I can truly say I feel bad for Alice.

Also, in my sleepy state, I failed to see that box on the right at the top. I mentioned there was no narrator before, but that's not really entirely true. The narrator, if I had to guess, is Alice simply reminicesing of simpler happier times in the past. She's probably drinking some form of alcoholic beverage, this scene playing in her mind with a dull nostalgic buzz, her own thoughts (being the description) echoing in her head as she downs another drink.

Alice is the fullon adult in this while Rayne is the naive child, not is to say she isn't important, she just seems more like a side-character in this to me by comparision. That aside, I can't help but also feel a bit...miffed, at Alice. She feels guilty enough about what she caused to her sister to down some alcohol, but instead of actively doing something to fix it, she ran away. She didn't even try an alteranative, she just ran. Leading everything up to the point now.

Alice, where she's downing her pay on some drinks. At this point, honestly, what does she have left to live for? She's practically operating more like machine than a person really. In that regard, I don't like Alice as a person, but I like her as a character. Same applies to when I said I was miffed with her.

Setting, well, friendly homely home room where two-sisters bond playing Jenga. It helps set in that mood of real, lively, and underlying nostalgia. Could go more indepth, but, well, I've done that enough. Maybe I'm just a romantic making a mountain out of a molehill though and reading too deeply into things, but that's how I see the story. And generally feel about it.

So yeah, that's my amateurish review done. Summary, liked it. Critique, well, now I'm certain I pulled that out of my ass when I was half-asleep. Feel-free to ignore that portion. Sorry once again if this isn't what you're looking for. I honestly really did try my best to give something acceptable. Maybe I went into too much depth though...

Well, Later!
