Hello! I just finished reading your story, and I must say that the atmosphere is amazing. The conversation about the sun portal and "mono no aware" struck so deeply that the melancholy and quiet beauty felt very real.
As a furry, anime-style conceptual artist with over four years of experience, your story immediately conjured up images in my mind, such as the bridge at 4:30, the burgundy jacket, and the gentle glow of the sun portal. I'd love to talk and perhaps work with you to make some of these scenes a reality!
If it's more convenient, you can reply here or find me on Discord at everly_ever.
