Los Angeles river

The city feels like a character itself, with its gritty atmosphere and complex characters. I'm curious how much of the setting was drawn from real-life experiences or research.

There were some detailed procedural scenes that made the story feel a bit sluggish, but I wonder if that was intentional to build tension or develop characters.

The timing of revelations kept me guessing, and I’d love to know what influences those choices—whether it’s plot-driven or character-based.
