The Inspiration

During their interview, Wyn (any/all) talked about their journey of self-discovery as a queer person. They were able to find themself through exploring fashion, expression, and presentation.

My closet is built up from the people I love in my life.

This visual novel takes heavy inspiration from the journey Wyn recounted during their interview, how they were able to experiment with their gender through clothes borrowed from brothers and cousins. Being from a Catholic School, their exposure to  the LGBTQ+ community was through queer friends and family members. Wyn felt that being surrounded by people living their own queer lives and having the freedom to discover themself was the reason they are who they are today.
