The interview began with a discussion about the weight of crafting a series finale, especially for a show that has captivated audiences worldwide. Victori shared, “Wrapping up a story that fans have been so invested in is both an honor and a challenge. You want to give them closure while still leaving room for interpretation—something to carry with them beyond the screen.” His dedication to striking that balance was palpable throughout our conversation.

We also delved into the themes that shaped the finale. Victori shared that the inspiration for the show came from an article he read. After several days of reflecting on it, he began dabbling with different scenarios, imagining how things could unfold in various ways, even exploring how the characters might compromise their morals in the face of challenging situations. Victori revealed that he drew inspiration from real-world issues and timeless human emotions, blending them seamlessly into the narrative. Without giving away spoilers, he teased moments of redemption, heartbreak, and hope that will leave viewers reflecting long after the credits roll.
