Beautiful perspective on regret, the effects of disassociating through life, the different forms we objectify people in our lives, finding strength in hardship, and the nuances of the human experience. All while creating a totally unique world and captivating plot. The different words for time measurements took some getting used to, and I could see some people feeling like the world building was jarring but its definitely worth pushing through that!
