Well-deserved accolades. Very striking atmospheric notes of atrocity, like the beginning of a horror movie. That it's actually the end makes it even more powerful, as waves of guilt crash upon Maia's imagination.
Absolutely gripping from beginning to end. Maia's anguishes and temptations resounded as deeply as her footsteps. You really have gotten economical with your phrasing, packing emotion and exposition into a few sentences.
The tiny nurse and Maia cooperating without being able to communicate really highlights their desperate courage. And they both know that there is a harsh limit to how much they can help each other.
Admiration and applause!
