    I rarely cry on a sad vid that is very short... - The animation is good and the story is heartbreaking! - The smile of the husband/grandpa is very cute, how can someone hurt him like that?

    It was SO good. The shots perfectly capture the energy and emotion, the dread I got was great, usually films cant make me feel anything, but this was different. It feels like a scene out of a 2 hour movie rather than a short animation and it’s *great* i can’t even put in words how good it is, sorry por my poor english.

    What a beautiful way to capture such heartbreak. The fact that there was so “positive resolution” is what makes it so raw and gut-wrenching.. It’s drawn so beautifully, as well 🥺🫶🏽

    Ok, wow. This, this hit me. I had to take a minute to hug my boyfriend. I have a terrible habit of yelling when I'm frustrated, and this just.... out things into perspective. I'm gonna work on not yelling so much. I don't want our last conversation to be of me yelling at him. We are young and healthy but still. This hit me in the feels

    i don't think an animation has ever made me feel heartbroken, but this one utterly shattered my heart. it's so expressive in its visuals and it tells the story so well, it feels so *real* and so *genuine* and it's such a pretty style to look at too. aaagh !!

    Im crying On the first hand she loved him, but on second her 'flow' aggressive chat just... because husband dropped the bowl...This small reason is not reason to shout on the one you love and appreciate. Damn, like she is a indirect cause that held her husband to death Very good, the story without voice❤

    this is an absolutely beautiful animation. i'm in awe of your animation and your ability to tell such a potent story in such a short time. such a melancholy and gut-wrenching watch. i saw the elderly woman yelling at her husband over the bowl as a metaphor for how anger and split-second frustration can cause more longterm harm that you don't realize in the moment during the red haze, and even if you regret it afterwards and love the person you got angry, sometimes the harm of that anger has lasting impacts. excellent animation, and looking forward to your future ones.

    this is really good, my only critic is that some times it feels like the quiet piano music could better serviced by longer dead air between notes to match the muted tone of the animation. don't be afraid of silence if your doing it intentionally
