The language of the work is rich and expressive, yet precise and concise in describing emotions and events. The author actively uses dialogues to reveal the characters' personalities and their relationships. The book touches on heavy themes such as friendship, love, loneliness, suffering, painful memories, and the search for meaning in life, requiring the reader to be prepared to face the harsh realities of the characters' lives.
