The Broken Ones

The characters' complex mental states add depth but also raise questions about how trauma influences behavior. I'm curious whether this was a conscious theme from the start or developed during writing.

The story had such a tense build-up early on, but the middle chapters felt a bit slower. I wonder if that was intentional to deepen character development or a pacing choice.

Switching viewpoints added layers to the mystery, but I’m curious if this narrative choice was planned from the beginning or evolved during editing.
