Kitchen (5 star): beautiful quotes, made me cry, such a beautiful message about the nature of grief, relationships, and the balance of choice and uncertainty
Moonlight Shadow (4 star): not as well written or maybe just not as well translated, language felt a little more clunky, still had great descriptions of the environment and the message was more positive with its focus on saying a proper goodbye
