Wow, this is an impressive work, especially for the LPM timespan! Loved the prose style and atmosphere.

Thank you!
I’ve mentioned some of the inspirations in the comments below. I remembered another, Greg Bear’s Infinity concerto, where there’s a very eerie scene of being chased down a narrow path, lit by paper lanterns, by something the main character dare not look back to see. I love how all these influences can come together in something.
