Using the stickers I got from @SoKaiZine to good use. Ironic how I don’t have any KH games on switch but that’s not important right now.[24]

I found an unopened package in my room and realised this is my order from @SoKaiZine 😱 I had completely forgotten about it until now! I must've misplaced the package when I first received it.

Everything about it so stunning. Kudos to everyone who worked on this project!![27]
