: I love this. My prediction: he falls in love but finds out her diagnosis before she discloses it. Old trauma resurfaces and is compounded. He goes into crisis mode. She is also really sad but still detached, not believing he actually loves her and thus they go separate ways (to her kindly, to him, it’s not over). He employs the best money can buy in terms of medicine to try to save her but she “just wants to go peacefully”. Blah blah blah, something or many smaller things happen and she realizes she loves him too and is now confused about this angry she feels (and begins experiencing the catharsis of expressing it outwardly) about not wanting to die, but to have a life full of love, etc. They get back together, looks super bleak but plot armor chemo saves her and they lives happily ever after. Shalala. Love saves all.
Though the story would be so much better if she actually passed away but lived fulfilled and knew true love (for herself and others) and despite the utter trauma of it all, he allowed himself to feel vulnerable and loved and properly grieve both his loss for her, his mom, and his child self to one day go on to love again…….maybe visit her grave many years later with his own child. Not happily ever after, but happy, messy and in some complicated, bitter sweet way, love still healed them.
