The pacing feels tight but also contemplative at times. I'm curious how the author chose when to focus on characters' inner lives versus plot progression.

The way the protagonist grapples with right and wrong made me think about how much moral compromise is acceptable in pursuit of justice. What was your take?

The atmosphere and city details felt very vivid. I'm wondering if the setting was based on a real place or if it was a fictional creation meant to evoke a certain mood.
