This was a wonderful story. I feel like a bit of it maybe went over my head – there was a bittersweet note through the end that i'm not sure I understood fully. But the world building was wonderful and the themes posed interesting thought exercises. I appreciate how the story makes use of the entirety of its short-form and throws the reader in the deep end, trusting them to catch up. Probably worth a reread tbh.
At risk of spoiling, I'll say this will probably be a hit with fans of [new] Doctor Who.
