Natsuki Kizu

A kind of conclusion to Akihiko/Haruki and Akihiko/Ugetsu, that's bittersweet and beautiful and I just love all of them. Absolutely wonderful story with great characters.

It is funny that there's a note in here that you can rehair violin bows, because I guess people don't know that. But yeah, you can. They break, and it's kind of startling and funny when it happens. Typically the hair does, rather than the wood, although I know the wood can. But if the wood's in one piece, the hair is replaceable. I do think it's kind of weird that Akihiko just picks up a bundle of broken violin strings as inspiration from Natsuki watching a violinist. I've only been in a situation where I had to redo multiple strings like once (and I think it was two), and I don't just drop the broken ones en masse on the floor. But I don't know. Maybe prodigies go through them faster. And also just... drop them on the floor and put their feet at risk for stepping on wires.… (altro)
