What the Fireflies Knew

The nostalgic tone really brought the setting to life, making me wonder what sparked the detailed childhood scenes. Was it drawn from personal experience or pure imagination?

The characters' struggles felt so real and complex, but I kept asking myself if I would have reacted differently in their situations. How do others interpret their decisions?

The fireflies seem to carry a lot of meaning, almost like a guiding light. I'm curious about what inspired their prominent role or symbolism in the story.
