The Island We Left Behind

The isolated island seems to mirror the characters' internal struggles. I'm curious if the setting was chosen to heighten the sense of confinement or reflection.

The narrative jumps between different periods, which added depth but also made me flip back a few times. Was that intentional to mirror memory's fluidity?

The combination feels very evocative, almost like a character itself. I'd love to know what sparked the idea for this particular backdrop.
