i dare say that beyond the constance of grief and heartache, oyasumi at last leaves an encouraging message: don't flee from reality, but face it. the past and all its contents constitute a part of the ego which no longer exists. try being a passive consumer of life and have a taste of punpun's world. p.s. i love you aiko. i am so incredibly apologetic to you, who deserved endless solace. you are irresistible. i am sorry.

(Major Spoilers) A figurative display of the negligence of psychiatric illnesses. Seongbin and Yeonghwa's situation saddens me lots. Never once did I change my mind about how fond I was of Yeonghwa's extremity, mania, wits and indomitable will. She's always acted in whichever way was true to herself. She's critisised cus she's incomprehensible by societal norms and ethics, but make no mistake, she never drove those girls to their deaths cus ultimately they refused to accept the reality they lived through. Neither of the siblings had knowledge of the severity of their condition at the time of their initial crimes, and especially to themselves. Otherwise, maybe poor Seongbin would have been more cautious of his dosage. Had he not been denied help, maybe he'd have had a chance to experience humane emotion in greater depth. He wouldn't have had to kill himself and others.

after having loved each other for this long, is it easy for them to forget? and to deny communication, succumb to the notion of having fallen out of love? unfortunately none have the ability to traverse through time. i am disappointed that a few youthful memories rekindled whatever they'd temporarily lost.
