The Melting

The shifting viewpoints added layers to the story, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or something that evolved during writing. How did this approach shape the emotional impact?

The pacing felt deliberate, gradually revealing wounds that felt all the more real. Was this tension-building method effective for others as well?

The vividness of the memories made them feel authentic, but I wonder what inspired the author to craft them this way and how much is drawn from real life.
