Beloved / Beravudo (ai sareshi mono)

The ghostly presence feels so visceral and real. I'm curious whether this was a narrative choice to symbolize trauma or if it evolved from the story itself.

The depiction of trauma and memory really stuck with me. How did others process the heaviness of the story long after turning the last page?

The nonlinear structure and shifting timelines made the story feel so layered. I wonder if this was planned from the start or developed during writing.
