Lost at present: Un altro mondo (Nontiscordardime Vol. 2)

The story balances magical worlds with heartfelt relationships—was this a conscious choice from the start or did it develop during writing?

It seemed like the story took time to develop the characters' emotional arcs, but I wonder if that was intentional for deeper immersion.

The world feels so rich and immersive; I'm curious whether the author based it on real places or created it entirely from imagination.
