Trzynasta opowieść

The story's structure with its shifting perspectives and timelines adds to the Gothic mystery. I'm curious what inspired the choice to tell it this way — was it planned from the start or developed during writing?

The moody, gothic ambiance really immersed me, but I wondered if the setting was intentionally crafted to reflect the main character's inner state. How did others interpret the atmosphere shaping the story?

The exploration of hidden pasts and self-discovery really stood out to me. Did others find certain revelations or motifs more impactful than others?
