The space is a controlled environment with small sections of the manuscript distributed daily, increasing paranoia as pages leak online. The publisher's operations are spread between the bunker and the publisher's office, mirroring a battle of control between secrecy and exposure. The setting amplifies mistrust and danger as pressure mounts.
