Тьма в хрустальной туфельке

The blend of whimsy and darkness feels so unique, and I'm curious how the setting and tone were developed to complement each other.

It seemed like a deeply introspective story that made me think about my own choices and shadows. Did others interpret it as a metaphor for inner growth?

The story manages to feel both haunting and enchanting — I wonder what guided the decision to blend these contrasting tones.
