Springtime in a Broken Mirror

The title suggests fractured perspectives—I'm curious how this imagery influences the characters' understanding of themselves and their past.

The prose feels lyrical and introspective, almost like reading a long, contemplative poem. Was this intentional to evoke a certain mood or theme?

Spring often symbolizes renewal, but here it feels tinged with nostalgia and loss. I wonder what led to choosing this season as a backdrop for these themes.
