Tempo de Partir

The connection between the characters and the elephants added a poetic depth to the story. I wonder if this parallel was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The story had such emotional weight, but I found myself wanting more momentum. Was this intentional to deepen the reflection or a pacing choice?

The shifting between past and present kept me guessing but also made the story more layered. I'm curious whether this structure was envisioned from the beginning or evolved during revision.
