In the afterword, Khorram says that they “wanted to show how depression can affect a life without ruling it.” They convey this well! Depression was central to the story but it wasn’t the only part of Darius’ life that made him who he is. Darius was portrayed as a whole person who also develops in how he views friendship, his relationship with his dad, and even his multi-racial background.
