The narrative explores how desperate circumstances can breed remarkable creativity, as Orhan must rely on his engineering background and quick thinking to devise unconventional defensive strategies when traditional military tactics prove insufficient.

Through Orhan's position as a marginalized figure in society, the story examines how those on the periphery often possess unique perspectives and solutions that conformists might overlook, challenging traditional notions of leadership and heroism.

As the story is presented as Orhan's written account of the Great Siege, it delves into how historical narratives are shaped by their authors, questioning the reliability of historical records and the role of personal bias in documenting significant events.
