We're going to be disconnected

Since the fourth episode, I have not stopped complaining about the heroine, the structure of the story, the composition of the plot, and the relationship between the characters. There is always a voice in my head sighing loudly, "What the hell is this!" But even so, I still saw the middle of the night in one breath. More than two o'clock, because the plot described by the story and the ideas conveyed exceed the story itself and are thought-provoking. The work merely uses meima's death as an "explicit turning point" to explain the subsequent changes in the protagonists and their friendship. Since then, several close friends have gone their separate ways, each changing and living in different levels of society. Even if they are worried, they are cold-eyed and even slander because of various "considerations" when they grow up. But when you pull away the fallen leaves on the water and look directly at the bottom again, you find that this clear spring has never changed. The story expresses the regrets and struggles between friends, the feeling of looking forward to being disconnected, the entanglement after getting together, the escape from pain, and the frankness of facing friends again. It was very successful. It's just that in three dimensions, it's not meima's death that changes us, but the experience of growing up, choices, the external environment... Slowly we are no longer simple and direct, crocodiles swim into the water, and birds fly into the sky. I think this is a work that really can be called "to youth". Although it is full of slots, in the end, in a place that only we know, we can reminisce the hurried few years together and let go of the past. It's enough.
