Knöpfe und Hass

The interactions between the characters felt layered and intense. I'm curious whether this was based on personal insights or research into BDSM culture.

Their flaws and traumas made them compelling, but also tough to sympathize with at times. How did others navigate their moral ambiguity?

The environment adds a lot to the mood—was it drawn from real places or purely fictional? It really heightened the dark tone.
