I enjoyed reading this and liked the representation. The art took me a moment to get into but I really liked the style by the end. It was a bittersweet story, but I liked the hopeful ending for Dylan.

Though it's good to see ace representation, it felt like ace and aro were confounded here and there was never a clear explanation around how they're different things and you can be ace without being aro and vise versa. It is completely valid if the character was supposed to be aro ace, I just would have liked this to be fleshed out more and explained properly.
