F/F MC relationship which was almost a backdrop to the themes of medical ethics, personal & societal responsibility, and the understanding of how to become a better person. Post-apocalyptic sci-fantasy retelling of what felt like a vietnamese fairy tale (I see other reviews say it's Beauty and the Beast, but is there really not a Viet equivalent?)
A novella with interesting worldbuilding and quite a few feelings.
