Moon Archive 100: Seabed [Chapters 7 & 8]

each morning i wake up, do my morning exercises, and eat breakfast. each evening i eat dinner and lay down to sleep. i don't mind this simple routine. or, didn't. i had the time between to fill with work, chatting with friends, flirting with the nurse, and reading. but now... ever since i started reading her journal... i feel myself ever more trapped by routine. stifled by the world that has been constructed for me. lonely. i want to see them again. i want to see my cohost one last time. to say goodbye? to settle my feelings. to confirm that there's no way that i could be happy in a world that lacks their warmth, in a world that was so clearly created by their imagination that i can feel it in every hallway, in every tree, in every person i talk to, but that is lacking their presence even so. it's almost time to say goodbye, dear listener. but not quite yet. let us play in this world a little longer.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of seabed. for yuri teatime we'll be doing the the 2023 visual novel lilja and natsuka: painting lies.

featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe).
