Do you really not know why the male lead finally separated from the female lead?

Why are you leaving? Because of love, and reconciliation. Looking back at 1h50mins, when the male protagonist and Louise talked about their lives in the future, the female protagonist lowered her head and took a closer look at what she was doing? Scratching his arm. The whole movie does not tell you what kind of trauma the hero and the hero have had, but the whole movie actually implies that the two of them are addicts. The girl is a suicide addict, and her habitual action is to grab her arm before self-harm. When encountering things that make her feel uncomfortable or stressful, she will unconsciously scratch her arms. The hero saw it, so she understood what she really needed. At this time, there was a silence that lasted for several seconds, and then the male lead said the most touching line of the whole movie:

"It's ok"

"What?"

"It's ok Lu"

Unforgettable love is not necessarily a bondage, and sometimes letting go is also love. Some people say that this movie is too depressing. I don't think so, I think it's very healing. Everyone is born lonely. There is no two-way redemption, it is self-salvation. I met you, I fell in love with you, and we helped each other in this process. Both you and I have learned to reconcile with ourselves, with the past, and with the world. Then we became better selves for each other.

If you leave me and you will become a better you, then we will separate, because I have also found a way to become a better version of myself.
