Conclusion


The Summer You Were There, at its' core, is a touching narrative on guilt, loss, how to live with it, how to see the good in people, and how to cope with control slipping from your fingers.

In a world where accurate and true representation of regret is scarce, Shizuku's story being told with care and accuracy makes it that much brighter - not only as a good depiction of the struggles of a flawed person, but potentially as a respectful depiction of a mental illness that oftentime does not recieve much care in media.

Today, forgive yourself and be the proof someone that you love is - or was - here.
Thank you for your time.
