The visual style is inspired by Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk.

The writing style is inspired by Z.A.T.O. // I Love the World and Everything In It.

I really like the Z.A.T.O. style of mumbling protagonist. And I like the atmosphere very much.

This scene is a direct inspiration of Z.A.T.O.

Story, a dominant theme in the story is suffering:

• The Palliative Society: Pain Today by Byung-Chul Han

• Risk of astronomical suffering

• Torment Nexus

Although the story explores suffering in the universe, the story is planned to have a happy ending. I just want to write some dumb silly funny yuri.
