L'antre de la sorcière

The inner conflicts add depth to their characters, but I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed as the story progressed.

The tension was really building, and I kept wondering how the characters would survive the latest threats. Was this escalation intentional from the beginning?

The imagery is so striking and surreal—I'm curious whether the author drew from myth, folklore, or purely original ideas for these terrifying elements.
