This rocks :) A few very minor things bugged me, like repeating the smell of lilacs and lilac bush as separate ideas instead of just making them deliberately one. Also, “it it.. it wants” didn’t work for me. I would have phrased that differently. But those are tiny flaws for me. Generally I loved the feel; it’s the kind of writing I try to aim for myself :) Very well done.

Absolutely wonderful visuals and emotional expression.

Amazing how memories can be so tangible.
