   This is a really good story, with novel themes and unconventional themes. The story is short but the whole story is very depressing and sadistic. At first I thought it was a story of revenge and atonement, but later I found out that it was not at all. It reversed and reversed again and again. After the reversal, it became even more sadistic, and it also led to the deeper root of the reason why the heroine is so painful. No spoilers, the article is short, read it yourself if you like!
