Der Stille

The silence adds so much tension and mystery—I'm curious if this was a creative choice or influenced by the character's backstory. Did it shape how the story unfolded?

The buildup was intense, but the middle chapters felt a bit slower. I wonder if that was intentional to deepen character development or to build suspense.

The atmospheric details really brought the town to life, but I wonder what inspired the choice of this particular setting and how it shaped the story's mood.
