Everyone is going to die, but I don't know when and why, and the heroine is at a loss in the huge unknown fear. People around you are still whitewashing your life and asking you to be happy about the pretense. The husband the heroine was looking for couldn't understand her, and pretended to be emotional, just to please her and have sex with her - her torture of the motif of the meaning of life's return, in his opinion, was just a pavement for going to bed and putting her in bed. His struggles were treated as babble of childish children, and he was fooled by coaxing and deceiving. So when the planet hit the earth, she calmed down, and she understood when and how she died. Death is just one thing, just experience it. What's so scary? I seem to be able to appreciate the ease and serenity of her relaxing bath in the light of death. I can also understand my sister's fear and the loneliness she suddenly felt: the earth is about to be destroyed, and the food is tasteless. She even wanted to return to the habit of escape, drink champagne, listen to music, light fireworks, greet and even celebrate death with her loved ones. The heroine replies forcefully that it's shit, death is death, and imposing meaning is to escape self-deception. But the heroine who sees everything clearly is still willing to make up fairy tales to coax her nephew and become a brother-in-law, instead of her vulnerable lover facing the cruel truth
