The setting feels both gritty and magical, which is a unique combination. I'm curious whether this mix was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The protagonist's quest for identity and belonging really resonated with me. Was this meant to reflect broader themes of self-acceptance and societal rejection?

It was impactful to see queer identities portrayed so openly in a harsh world. I wonder what led to the decision to weave these themes into the story this way.
