The characters' struggles with belonging felt so authentic. I wonder what inspired the author to focus on these particular aspects of assimilation and heritage.

The moments of lightheartedness made the heavier themes even more impactful. I’d love to hear if others felt the same and which scenes stood out.

The confined setting really amplified the characters' interactions and secrets. Was this a conscious choice to heighten the tension or did it evolve during writing?
