i really enjoyed reading through this, the prose and mystery are both so well-executed. it's very atmospheric... i might need to give it a reread to fully understand the timeline here but i'm pretty sure i understood & followed along pretty well. such a cool idea, and the visual presentation of the text adds so much <3
Ohh this is a wonderfully unsettling mystery to unpack! Just enough detail to figure everything out, and yet ambiguous enough to make you question your conclusion...
Gives me the sort of unsettling identity horror vibes that Who's Lila gave me, very good read!
I love how this one came together from both sides!
your writing really is something special. this was wonderful. so immersive and gripping. i love how you add just enough information to piece the story together and still manage to make the world feel “big” and real. i was there, i felt all of that. it was unpleasant and wonderful and i felt understood somehow <3
