La boite à musique

The way music influences the characters' memories and choices felt very intentional. I'm curious what inspired this musical theme as a storytelling device.

The emotional depth of the relationship added a lot to the story, but I kept wondering if the ending was satisfying or a bit too open-ended.

The setting made the characters' secrets and connections feel more intense. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or preferred the intimacy of small-town life.
