This is logging for both Our Confession and Last Note without accounting for the rest of the story.
I was pleasantly surprised with both stories, much much moreso than half of Tsubasa and Hane. I never expected Last Note in particular to give closure to a character I believed never to be far far out of the realm of possibility towards being brought up again so boy that was a ton of bricks and a half. I've seen a few people describe it as "Ange's Saikoroshi" and I.... honestly feel that's an apt description, especially in terms of content. It manages to handle similar themes but in that same Umineko vein I'd come to expect from the series.
Our Confession was really cool, being that it was another possible fragment blatantly shown off... but what really made it tick for me was the meta conversation between /those two/ at the end. Not quite as thought provoking or emotional as Last Note, but still a worthwhile addition and read.
It's absolutely insane to me that after 4 and a half years after finishing Umineko I just so happened to finish Saku's side stories on October 4th after my reread and somehow that WASN'T a premeditated decision. Not only that, the 4 year anniversary since Ciconia Phase 1 (and Saku) was released as well. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this fact: Ryukishi if you don't give us news I will die I need it inject it into my veins my guy I'm fading ... slowly, slowly
