There is absolutely nothing like your first experience with a story. The second after finishing this visual novel, I felt those pangs of nostalgia, as if I'd just been born and wanted to be back in the womb.  This longing for more is like an unreachable itch. I'll never feel that satisfaction again, that immersion I felt on the first playthrough. Of course I can still enjoy future readings, and  that added feeling of nostalgia can make that experience valuable in its own way, but the fact you already know how the story goes is absolutely heartbreaking. 9:22 has some flaws, but It left me with an experience that changed my life forever, and that has to be the best form of art imaginable.
