The shifting second-person perspective feels intentional to cause disorientation. The confusion makes the story feel like a mental illness, with thoughts jumping from the past to the future but rarely present in the moment.
- Gormo 2y agoDefinitely seems intentional. The author generally uses past tense to reflect the mental state of the protagonist, and present tense to describe events as they unfold. I found nothing jarring about the tense switches.
