I had a feeling, looking into the clouds
I reached out my hand, with a stronger courage than I ever had.

It’s… hard to find words for this piece. I created it for the KyoAni charity zine, but it became a tribute for Kyoto Animation and Hyouka on it’s own.
So, I guess what I’ll say is,
Thank you Kyoto Animation, for creating such inspiring, meaningful series.
You’ve given me a sense of belonging, strength, joy, and hope, in some of the darkest times.
Thank you… thank you.
