Alan meets Hayden, a free-spirited youth one night. The pair hit it off, but Alan's new feeling...
this one hit hard, which is saying somethings as it's rather short. as that person on reddit said (warned), there are definitely major banana fish vibes from this. i am an absolute sucker for angst and banana fish is probably my favorite anime ngl so ofc i had to read it. i really enjoyed (but also suffered bc of) how the story explored both character's backstories and traumas and the nuances of their relationship within a short span of chapters. ofc i think the characters and their relationships could've been developed even further had there been more to the story, but i think it's great regardless. it didn't exactly hit me in the same way that banana fish did.
