Kindred Spirits on the Roof was self-marketed as "Steam's first uncensored sex game." If I remember correctly, that was its entire marketing ploy. While technically true (it is Steam's first natively uncensored sex game, albeit with the sex taking more of an epilogue role in the various relationships and no genitalia shown), it has far more of an emotional depth to it than I first expected, as I've written about several times on my website. Despite this, it's still quite unknown in the west, and as a result official media is a little more limited (especially since it's an adult visual novel). On the flip side, this allows for more creative freedom by fans, and I hope I've done this series justice.

About this fic:

This fic, all things considered, has little to do with the actual content of KSotR. It's more of a general closure, partly for the characters and partly for myself. I knew from the start I wanted to write it in first person because it really is a personal reflection on Yuna's part, but instead of writing it in the same style as the visual novel (like I did in A Miracle of Obon) I decided to go with a more traditional writing style. There are, by my count, only two specific references to the original media that may not be immediately explicit: one is of Youka and Aki being guitarists (and teaching Shinji), and the other is the candy charm that you would have only seen if you had cleared most of the post-game scenes. Shinji and Hikari are original characters, their names taken from people I actually know.

All in all, there isn't much to be said about this. Last time I included some specific tracks to go along with the writing, but I don't think that's really necessary here. If anything, listen to "Milestone".
