It is always true that you the writer will know exactly what went into the story and no one else will unless it is spelled out or you tell them extra-diegetically, but you would really have to disappear up your own self-involvement for it not to come through the text, and I don't really see that happening. Even if it does the ninety percent iceberg thing, the ten percent may really connect.
