Brilliant. From the premise to the development of the plot, characters, and overall setting, this story is truly captivating. The cast of characters is well thought-out, each having depth, personality, and their own unique traits. The only thing I would criticize is how the passage of time is unclear, but since the story revolves around events rather than time, I feel like the style that it is written is well-suited for the plot. Thank you for this wonderful read, and I look forward to future developments!
