L'amica perduta e ritrovata

The narrative feels intimate and raw, but I'm curious whether this perspective was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it influence how the story unfolds?

Their bond was so layered and nuanced that it made me reflect on my own childhood friendships. Did others find themselves relating to any specific moments or feelings?

The setting felt like a character itself, grounding the story in a very real place. I wonder what led to the choice of this particular environment and its role in shaping the characters.
