The Beast

His internal struggle adds so much depth, but I wonder what inspired the choice to make him both dangerous and tender. Did the character evolve during writing?

Their connection felt raw and intense, but I was curious if that was intentional to highlight their emotional scars or if it just happened naturally.

The atmosphere really immerses you in a dangerous, almost dystopian underworld. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this world first or if it developed as the story progressed.
