Aru asa totsuzen ni

The dark, brooding setting really immerses the reader. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experiences or a deliberate stylistic choice.

The characters are so layered that I kept questioning whether their actions stem from malice or circumstance. What was your take on their moral ambiguity?

The slow unveiling added to the suspense, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
