neat. Introspective tag is well-placed too. the tag moderators finally kicking in

Hotaru pulling Houka down into the darkness with her is perfect. Love this pair and this comic.

Oof. This is absolutely beautiful, also feels like a punch to the gut to me though.

As in, I made the kind of shit-eating grin I only make when I cry.

Also note that Hotaru is naked when she was pulled into the darkness. Symbolically, it means she disrobed herself of everything that kept her locked in - her pride, her false self - and let herself be pulled away.

Penyihir Laut? Don't tell me the author is from Indonesia. Because it would be mean "Sea Witch". XD
