It is said that the character is good or not, not to see how many people come to the wedding, but to the funeral.
This ALS man is a French fashion editor. After he fell ill, whether he was a nurse, doctor or wife, children, lover and friends, they all eagerly came to visit him and try to find ways for his recovery. Therefore, I, who had a low tear point, also cried while watching and became emotional: If I am getting colder, I can have so much true feelings, which can be regarded as a huge reward for my character. And the male protagonist's financial situation allows him to have a team that arranges personal care for him, providing him with a dedicated ward. For more people with ALS, when one person gets cold, the whole family is paralyzed.
I have a friend's father by my side who is suffering from ALS. And there are too few people who can overcome physical confinement and let butterflies fly freely like the male protagonist.
