I am impressed by the atmosphere that changes in each scene due to the design and the music. I also really like the art style! Although it is short, it is very well done!

Thank you very much!

As an author of the original idea, I feel so proud. This is a short but 100% well-done finished piece!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
