This manga have a good explanation of someone having it rough in life. “Unable to defy the gravity” is when Mariko is unable to hold the gravity (or I say the heavy things) that has been pulling her down and down leaving her in complete despair and the desire to be free in life
In fact Mariko was only a child back then. Hopelessness always come from an abused child that has never been raised properly by their parents, she just wanted to be cherished as Shii cherished her in her arms.
