Just talk about movies. It's not that Naoko doesn't like the male protagonist, she can't love nor dare to love the male protagonist, so love was strangled to death in the bud. Naoko committed suicide because the male protagonist's love is worldly love. What Naoko needs is pure spiritual, determined and eternal love. The sensitive and kind-hearted she is moved by everything the male protagonist has done her best, but in fact, she owes this dislocation. Feel very burdened by the grand favor. She originally had a glimmer of hope that the male protagonist would save her (that is, not commit suicide, and continue to live), but in the end she confirmed that the male protagonist is an ordinary person who wants life, and understands love as a kind of life. Practice, such as living together and having good sex, is why he went to Midori, who is an excellent person who can practice this kind of life well. But Naoko knew early on, or pessimistically believed that once this kind of life could not be practiced, the male protagonist's love for her would inevitably end in collapse and disappearance, and Naoko, who had been ill for a long time, always believed that practicing this kind of life The task is impossible for her to do. After she asked with the last glimmer of hope and hopelessness, "If I can't do it in my life, will you still love me?" After that, his answer completely showed that he didn't understand what she was asking for, which confirmed Naoko. From her point of view, Naoko fully understands that the world of "life" and the adult world represented by the male protagonist is completely closed to her. In this way, the last straw collapsed, unable to support the will of life, so he committed suicide and died. This is the only way out for this soul.

Vulgarity is not a sin, and Toru Watanabe is of course innocent, because he is just a normal person, doing what a normal person should do, and living the life that a normal person needs in a normal person's way. The guilty one is God, why should a soul like Naoko be born into this "living" world. Naoko couldn't stay in this world. Don't ask where death will go? Just, at least leave this place that doesn't belong to her.
