The Guilt Trip

I noticed the tension dipped for a bit around the midpoint, but then picked up again. I'm curious if the author planned this ebb and flow or if it evolved during writing.

Some choices seemed driven by guilt or fear, but others felt surprising. Did any actions stand out as particularly relatable or frustrating?

The clues were subtle but I kept wondering if the reveal was obvious or if others also picked up on the hints before the big twist.
