Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight

The historical context added so much depth to the characters' struggles. I wonder if the setting was driven by personal history or a desire to explore national healing.

The narrative often drifts into introspection and quiet reflection, which made me think about how memories naturally fade and resurface. Was this pacing intentional to mirror that?

The shifts between past and present felt seamless but deliberate. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
