I feel like Haibane Renmei came into my life at a time when I really needed it.
When I decided to watch the DVD that was sitting on my shelf for months I had just got out of the pychward. I wanted escapism, I felt awful that the problems I didn't know how to deal with ruined my relationships again. I wanted to keep to myself and never hurt anyone again. It
was a period of change in my life, I wanted to care for someone. but I always felt like no matter how hard I try for others no one will try for me, I will always be forgotten. So when I got to see more about reki I really related so much that it was kinda hard to watch.
At the same time Haibane Renmei felt comforting.
