Le Dernier des Aînés

The narrative offers a unique view from the aliens themselves, which felt quite immersive. I wonder what inspired the choice to tell this story from their point of view.

The story made me think about what it truly means to be advanced or civilized. Did the portrayal of the Elder Race challenge anyone else's ideas about progress?

Some parts felt slow, especially early on, but it seemed deliberate to deepen the atmosphere. Was that your experience too?
