Fear&Love
«Why can’t we simply express our feelings?
Why am I afraid to say ‘I love you’?»
STORY:
Fear&Love is a short Kinetic Novel (about 10000 words) about Kino, a boy who is afraid to confess, and Mae, a girl who struggles with her own heart. They try to help a couple of friends (Subare and Zira) with their relationship and have to face an unexpected question: ‘What are your feelings?’ A wave of doubt and fear overwhelms them: ‘What’s he thinking?’ ‘How is she going to react?’ ‘Can we be sure?’ ‘It can’t be so difficult!’
The VN is narrated from different character’s points of view (Kino, Mae, and more), and sometimes presents their thinkings and their words (that, curiously enough, don’t match), with text in different colors.

MUSIC:
‘Disabled Emotions Suit’, by zero-project: «"Disabled emotions" suite is an album which talks about the feelings that must be "disabled" sometimes in our life. It talks about emotions that have been disabled because it was our choice, or, because we were forced to disable them.» I think it fits well with the story.
