The animation style really complements the emotional tone, blending vibrant colors with a subtle dreamy quality that reflects Chenghua's inner turmoil. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of her struggles to resonate. It’s distinct in how it captures that feeling of being a kid but also carrying adult responsibilities.
