Work Text:
Reality slapped me across the face when I decided, on a whim, to post my artwork online for the first time. Torturous hours dragged by as I repeatedly checked for recognition of my arduous labor of love, but none came. While reveling in self-indulgent posting to push the pain away, the blessed chime of a notification interrupted my guilty reprieve.
I'll always remember the liberating words of that first comment: "The light of the moon complements the darkness of night well. It makes me sad to remember days gone by."
That commenter also went by K.
Was that you, Kanade?
