this is a good thing, of course. h-how did you know of my unending love for sf? (don't you say anything about it probably being right there in my sign-up)
one of my favorite things is how you built the world-- it's effortless. space travel and exploratory missions and even the hints of humanity's past. (i can't help but wonder, is it the distant past for them? it must be, considering how waste the Waste is, all post-apocalyptic crunchy buildings and sand. but maybe not? seriously i love that there's little things to wonder about given the Waste and the Big Red and wherever humanity must be scattered about.)
uhm, but enough about that.
i really love koki in all of his messy glory. no shoes, welding in the cockpit, and generally being kind of ridiculously lax in the face of nakamaru's fastidiousness. yes, it's love. i mean, "He wouldn't care if I don't wear shoes," Koki snorts.

The supernova scaring them into silence was another part really stood out for me, as well as Nakamaru and Koki trying to understand each other as crewmates in general, Taguchi's arrival making their currently-uneventful journey that much more interesting, and how he just fits right in.
Taguchi is there with his kind eyes and handsome face, and ( ... )

I loved the character dynamics so much. The whole set-up of Nakamaru as the too serious captain and laid back Koki as his shipmate on a fruitless journey is perfect.
The Tagumaru development was so cute - how Junno gets under Nakamaru's skin and Nakamaru gets so adorably snappish <333
Awesome job, anon!
