Piercing

Ryū Murakami's exploration of mental darkness feels so visceral. I'm curious what influenced his choice to delve so deeply into this disturbed mind.

The conclusion left me with questions and a lingering sense of unease. I wonder if others interpreted it differently or felt it was intentionally open-ended.

The setting feels integral to the narrative’s tone, but I’m curious how much of the horror and psychological tension is rooted in Japanese societal norms or customs.
