Was Niemand Wissen Darf

The blend of past and present created a layered atmosphere. I'm curious if this structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The orchids symbolize so much—life, death, secrets. I wonder how much the author researched about them or if they’re mostly a poetic element.

The detailed descriptions added depth, but I found myself wanting more momentum. Did others feel the same or enjoy the immersive experience?
