Vouée aux ténèbres

The city feels alive and dangerous, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by a real place or from the author's imagination.

The relationship is complicated and intense, which made me wonder if it was meant to challenge typical romantic tropes or reflect real moral ambiguity.

The story weaves these aspects seamlessly, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to keep the pacing tight or a natural evolution of the story.
