Grand méchant loup

The fairy tale metaphor adds a layer of darkness and complexity. I'm curious how the author decided on this allegory and how it influenced the story's tone.

The story had some quiet moments that felt like they were setting up the climax. Was that a deliberate choice to deepen the mystery or just how the plot evolved?

The tension was palpable, and I wonder what techniques or planning went into balancing information and misdirection throughout the story.
