I um; I don't review anything. I have a hard time completing games as I just don't focus for long enough or its too simplistic. I think I've been playing this game on and off for a year or so. I lost my friend in April of this year. I got to level 4 earlier in the year. I just sat down because why not? Anyways, tears in my eyes and I think something in me just shattered in a healing way. Timing does have its reason doesn't it? ♥♥♥♥ grief is hard.
