Behind a Closed Door

The concept of an ominous door hiding dark truths is compelling—I'm curious what sparked this motif in the story.

The layered backstories added depth but also made me wary of how much was left in the shadows. Was that intentional to keep readers guessing?

The tension felt well-managed, but I wonder what choices went into pacing the scares and clues to keep it engaging without feeling too slow or too intense.
