Spooky, confusing, a real sense of panic and not knowing what is happening - for the character or reading. It feels a bit jumpy and chaotic and it works really well, encoding the strangeness and darkness of the situation and Melanie/Millie’s feelings. I had lots of theories about what actually led to these events, lots of potential ideas of madness, hallucination, some kind of spiritual or religious switch or flip in time - it’s very open to the reader’s interpretation
