Apprendre, si par bonheur

The novella's contemplative tone really made me think about the nature of communication and understanding. I wonder if this structure was meant to mirror the characters' internal journeys or if it grew naturally during writing.

The choices the characters face about exploration and impact on alien worlds sparked some deep questions for me about real-world ethics. Were these dilemmas intentionally left open-ended for readers to interpret?

The mix of hard science and heartfelt moments felt seamless, but I’m curious how much of that was planned versus developed organically during writing.
