Since no seems to be mentioning it
I Love the little details indicating that his reading a book for example how at 1:06 you can see the writing on the shadows and on the taxi scene you can also see some letters.
Also how the street from the beginning seems very alike to the one in the book which is something I do often when reading scenarios while imaginign things or places i've been too
Sorry if this doesnt make sense english is not my first language.

Omg I’m in love with this!! I especially love the shot at 1:06! The style is so satisfying—I loved the animation and sounds as he was buttoning up his coat!

This is adorable I love the animation style!! The match cuts are soo cool!!

Incredible work!! Been following you since your Calarts accepted video, it’s been great to see how far you’ve come. Congrats on completing your first film. Can’t wait to see more!

Such detail with the buttoning up incredible

I love everything in this short. From the character designs to the more detailed hands when close up.
The way you showed the contrast between the real world and the story. The most obvious example having lines of text in the backgrounds. Or even the less mentioned fact that the backgrounds are more dramatic like those interior shots in some of Tim Burton’s work.
However, my favorite has to be that the street lights in the book are much sharper that the one we saw earlier when he got off work.
