Teenage love should happen in summer, love is lazy and romantic in summer. Both Alex and David are literary geniuses, and both have abnormal parts. Alex's curiosity about death, David's fascination with speed and the pursuit of novelty. When David said he refused to be owned, I understood him and wept. I haven't made any big mistakes, I just can't be hugged tightly, so I have to run away when I meet the love that can soothe me. David has always been more assertive than Alex, from dressing his hairstyle to saying "we should despise death", Alex is dependent and wants to be fully possessive. He can't fully accept the real lover, so he will be surprised, hesitant, and puzzled before making an oath. After David died, Alex went to the morgue, and he had to see the body to confirm that David really died. Yes, I have experienced this feeling, and if I don't see it with my own eyes, it will only feel that he is gone but still alive in the world. Alex couldn't hold himself back from jumping on David's body, he longed for caresses and fresh life. What struck me the most was the scene where Alex was dancing on David's grave. Sober and crazy, expressing unspeakable love, fear and helplessness about death, guilt and anger. In the messy and wild dance, shake off the broken self. Words and writing are the most self-salvation, a channel to face emotions and try to express. Thoroughly smash and reshape the broken self. Let me tell you the story, you see how I came here now.
