Behind the Scenes:
As I revisit older stories, I’m reminded of how little I documented their creative journey. While memory can be a good hiding place for ideas, it’s not the most reliable archive of such details. Thankfully, I was able to recover the core of this tale and polish it into something that feels true to its spirit.
