YMMV / The Outside

The Fanfic

  • Fridge Horror: A subtle version comes with Satsuki being an agoraphobic ill girl. Between not seeing a doctor for over nine years and Ryuuko's encounters with the outside world, Satsuki might have doomed herself without knowing it
  • Heartwarming Moments: Ryuuko's relationships with a few of the characters in the story.
    • The first one we have is Aikuro, who, despite what his job would entail, he goes to bat for her even if his job may be jeopardized.
    • The second one we have is Mako, her first friend, who interacted with her, even if she couldn't come outside.
    • And her befriending Nui and Shiro, who made it a point to befriend her, first.
  • Tear Jerker: If one gives it more thought, Ryuuko and Satsuki's situation is this, as the latter really does love her sister but she's not equipped to care for her properly and the former just wanted to go outside. To add to this, Satsuki is practically alone without Ryuuko and Satsuki is the only family she had known.
    • Chapter 43 has a doozie. Ryuuko has a dream of herself as a toddler playing within the snow with Soichiro, the happiest probably she ever had been and, when she wakes up, she's devastated, frantic, hoping for the dream she had to be real.
    • The fact that there's a looming possibility (and very likelihood) of Satsuki dying, which begs the question as to how well Ryuuko'll be able to cope with that loss. To really add to this, Satsuki is aware of this.
  • The Woobie: Ryuuko, who just simply wanted to experience things beyond her house but it comes at a cost of the life she knew before. What really doesn't help this is that Satsuki's health ends up suffering, which will beg the question, as to how she'll cope with her dying. We can assume not well.
