The Sky So Heavy

The setting feels so tangible and oppressive—wondering if the author drew from real climate fears or imagined it entirely. How did the idea of the sky's weight shape the story's tone?

Their struggles with loss and hope felt so raw and authentic. I’m curious how much of their pain was drawn from personal experiences or pure imagination.

The pacing felt very deliberate, but I wonder if that was planned to emphasize the characters' internal struggles or if it evolved during writing.
