oh my god this was amazing...HOW did you develop a full-blown universe for goose soulmates i'm in awe...and your writing is so evocative of that mid-2000s-coming-of-age-teen-angst. i never thought hoshi could fit that character but you have proven me wrong. this was such a wonderful story of growing pains and miscommunication and loving-so-much-you're-scared. soonwoo's geese breaking out and meeting was such a victorious moment. i'm actually a little obsessed with this goose concept now. the birds you picked for each character are somehow perfect?? THANK YOU for writing this, i WILL be thinking about it for the rest of the day
