And After

The story is dark and intense, yet moments of hope shine through. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice to balance despair with resilience.

The sense of loss and survival made me reflect on how different characters handle trauma. Were others moved by the characters' reactions as much as I was?

The world-building felt so visceral and immersive. I'm interested in whether the author drew from personal fears or real-world events to craft this universe.
