Entre deux verres

The story feels both hard-edged and emotionally resonant. I'm curious how the author approached blending these elements to keep the story grounded yet engaging.

The narrative deepened during that stretch, but I wondered if it was meant to build tension or just a natural part of the story's flow. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The gritty cityscape and era feel so vivid. I wonder if real places or events influenced the world-building or if it was entirely imagined.
