The reason for the disappearance

Has been with Yumiko entangled in Yufu's disappearance.
What is tangled is not the disappearance, but the reason for the disappearance that disappears. Without a reason, our sadness, anger, and grievance have no enemy, no direction, and no basis. Emotions stagnated in the chest with increasingly uncertain speculation about the reasons, unable to release.
The reason Yumiko got was the light at sea, and I thought of myself one day.
When I was still in Xiamen that day, while admiring the graceful arc of the Rainbow Pedestrian Bridge, I calmly violated the traffic rules on the Huandao Road. The thing in my mind is strange:
If at this moment, yes, right now, a car comes over and I disappear... Can I?
Why not? This question is remembered with the bright sunshine of that day.
I am relieved. I even imagined that it was a verdant season when Yu Fu left, and there must be lush greenery and even small flowers on the edge of the turning rail. How would Yufu walk on the rails, would he silently walk between the rails and look at the stones under his feet, or would he occasionally walk on a single rail in a playful way like saying goodbye to Yumiko and playing with an umbrella.
My favorite scene, Miko quietly followed the funeral procession, a dozen silhouettes stepped on the horizon, and the heads were connected to form the horizon.

Maborosi quotes

  • Yumiko: It's harder to say goodbye if we keep postponing it.

  • Yumiko: [Recalling her first husband's unexplained suicide] I just... I just don't understand! Why did he kill himself? Why was he walking along the tracks? It just goes around and around in my head. Why do you think he did it?

    Tamio: [after giving it some thought] The sea has the power to beguile. Back when dad was fishing, he once saw a maborosi - a strange light - far out to sea. Something in it was beckoning to him, he said... It happens to all of us.
