Whoa. What a head trip. I've never read a story before where not only the characters were all unreliable/possibly lying but the narrator is unreliable too. Not lying, but Marie has clearly been deeply affected by the lockdown, Marija's death, and the general alienation and suspicion of the Viennese intelligence community. Beautifully done, Kate - one of my favorite chapters so far!
The psychological tension and complex dynamics between the characters kept me on edge. I loved how you wove in themes of control, power, and the blurring of reality. It’s a haunting exploration of trust and fear.
