Oh boy, here I go. Right at the start I hear the sound of the sea. This is going to be some depressing story, isn't it?
If I recall correctly it's like utsuge or something.
The question though, is whether I go for the unvoiced or voiced translation version, since they're different translators.
I typically like voiced more, but in this case I may be tempted to go through with the unvoiced since I can really imagine my own voices.

Think I'll go with unvoiced then read the voiced version.

Anddddd it starts with melancholy piano and bells and string music. My body is definitely DEFINITELY not ready for this VN. It's going to be short and sweet and tears everywhere.

It starts with suicide statistics. Great. I can see where this will be going.

MC is admitted to the hospital. Oh yeah, this is going to be a really happy and cheerful story.

>At first my classmates came to see me everyday
>There were people in my class that I called friends
>Before I'd really realized what was happening, they were merely acquaintances
>Then strangers
>With each change of the seasons, I faded from more memories

;_;

>If you've got a normal life, you don't want someone like me in it.

Jesus christ. Jesus christ this is not going to be okay at all. Everything is ruined forever.


Early Summer 2004
Autumn 2004

OH FUCK. THIS PIANO MUSIC. IS FAMILIAR. I'VE HEARD THIS SHIT BEFORE. I've heard the Narcissu music before. Melancholic and dramatic piano. No go away pls. I don't think my body is ready to handle this level of tears.

In and out of the hospital all summer. back and forth. on and off.

>My appetite shrank, while the number of medicines I was expected to swallow just kept on increasing. I felt like I could literally see myself getting weaker.

Oh boy I love stories about terminally ill people.

>Somehow it didn't seem very personal
>It was like I was watching it happen to somebody else.
>Like it was just a scene from some TV drama.

Winter 2004
The entire family was there when I went to visit home for New Years.

>I would probably never get to use that license.
>That's what I thought, as the forced smiles and false cheer washed over me.

January 2005

[spoiler=The doctor]told me I was going to die.
"Oh..."
I couldn't think of anything else to say.[/spoiler]

Hospice ward..

My wristband's color was changed. High ceilings, white wristbands, and windows that only opened about 15 cm.

Winter 2005, the seventh floor

I'm going to take a slight pause while reading this.

Initial impressions so far. MC hasn't really accepted anything. I think he's still in the shock/lack of acceptance stage, seeing as he basically didn't say anything to his doctor.
This is going to be a really sad sad story, with a bittersweet ending.

It's the perfect formula to make me cry bitch tears, that's for sure.

>The rule, was that newcomers to this seventh floor were to be told certain things

>It's the part of the hospital where you wait for your life to run out

>When you reach your third temporary discharge, prepare yourself. There's hardly ever a fourth time. You won't be going home

If you want to run away, don't try to use M- station, go to K- station instead
Don't eat anything, that's the best way out.

Setsumi

Setsumi just got mad because he called her without the honorific

Why did she stop at the station? Why was she still living on the seventh floor?

Tell me, which will you choose? Where will you decide to die?
>I was going to go through the same process as everyone else before me
>Out. Back in, weaker. Back out, weaker still.

>I would only have one decision to make; whether to die here on the seventh floor, or at home, smothered in false smiles

Jesus christ. This VN doesn't pull any punches. At all. This is pretty much completely like BAW SHIT IS BAD OKAY?

Narcissi. The flowers by the window and the ones shown on the TV.

and that's where the name of the story comes from. She finally spoke, and turned around to face me too.

Chapter 2: The Silver Coupe

>If you gave up from the start, there would be no disappointment. If you looked into your past, there wouldn't be any happy things, but also no painful things.

Chapter 6: Echo

>With the birth of purpose, the fear of loss also was born.
