Cool Girl Mourning

At the end of high school, the two girlfriends did not plan to go back to campus. Facing the society, they both faced the same way at the beginning. Rebellion, arrogance, and ridicule are the taste of youth.

Rebecca adapts to the world faster, finds an ordinary job, smiles at the people she once hated, and lives a good life. Enid couldn't adapt, she still went her own way, but society would never treat her like before. For her, there are too many people or things in this city that she hates, too many situations she can't fit into.

Rather than calling it a ghost world, Enid is more of a misfit ghost to this world.

She's really cool, I hope she can always face the world the way she likes, the results may not be so good, but it's cool to be able to do what she likes in her own way.

At the end of the movie, like the old man sitting in the chair before, she left the city on the night bus, where will she go? Who knows.

She is a ghost.
