Autistic mothers don't seem to care about their daughter's departure
Filled with guilt and Vivian's belongings, Eri arrives at Linda's house to apologize to her face.
As soon as she arrived at Linda's doorstep, Eli heard a heated argument: a well-meaning man who knew of Vivian's death and wanted to accompany Linda, was rudely chased away by Linda.
The movement in front of the door made Eri feel even more guilty, and he thought Linda was grieving over her daughter's death.
After Eri pressed the doorbell, a strangely behaved woman opened the door, her eyes fluttering, her preface not matching the afterword, listening to strangely rhythmic music, she was Vivian's mother Linda.
Curiously, Linda didn't seem to care about Vivian's death and closed the door without saying a few words.
Linda
Linda's reaction confused Eri, who rang the doorbell again and told Linda across the door that he had brought a gift vivian bought, the flash ball.
The door opened instantly, and Linda grabbed the flash ball and played with it excitedly, looking completely different from a mother who had just lost her daughter.
Eli was puzzled, and when he entered the room, he found more strange things: Linda's obsessive-compulsively put her shoes in a row; she took out all the seasonings in the kitchen to check; and insisted on drying clothes and making tea for Eli, even though Eli made it clear that she didn't need to....
Looking at Linda like this, Eri burst into tears and cried out in a hoarse voice, hoping that Linda would forgive him. But Linda could not understand this behavior, and thought that the taste of tea was not good, and the two of them could not communicate normally when they talked about each other.
When the well-wishers who had been driven away returned, Linda used Eli as a shield, and out of guilt, Eri promised to stay at Linda's house tonight.
The next morning, Eri saw Linda again with all her strange behavior, lying on all fours in the snow, eating it with the snow in her mouth, and shouting to build a snowman in the shape of a chipmunk.
Eri felt like he was going to break down, and he couldn't understand it all at all. Until a passing neighbor told the truth: Linda grew up with autism, refused to socialize, lived alone for many years, her parents traveled for many years, and only her daughter came back a little more often.
Knowing the truth, Eri began to re-observe Linda, and during the next two days together, Eri also felt the warmth of a long absence: Linda would make him breakfast, would take care of his glasses, and trusted him completely, never asking about the past.
These warmths, combined with guilt over Vivian's death, made Eri decide to stay and accompany Linda until Vivian's funeral was over.

Murderer's Past:
His son also died in a car accident
In the eyes of the townspeople, the strange woman Linda has an extra "nanny" by her side, and Eri will accompany Linda to claim Vivian's body; sort out the garbage; go shopping at the supermarket; make games; walk the dog...
In the day and night together, Eri gradually let go of his guard, a chance, he said his past: Eri once had a girlfriend, the two did not have a long time together, but did not expect that the girl was pregnant when they broke up.
The girl hid from Eri and raised a boy alone, until the boy was 18 years old and wanted to find his biological father, Eri did not know that there was such a son.
On the day the father and son made an appointment to meet, the boy died in a car accident, and it was later found that the driver was drunk driving.
Grief-stricken, Eri finds the drunk driver's address and rushes over to beat the driver hard, causing the driver to fall down the steps and die in the confusion, causing Eri to be imprisoned.
After his release, Eri wanted to meet his ex-girlfriend and his son's mother, which led to this trip, but he did not expect to experience another car accident and lose a person he cared about....
Linda was not interested in Eri's past at all
In the face of Eri's monologue, Linda is not interested, and does not care whether Eri has been in prison, but is more immersed in the guessing game and begins to tell superhero stories.
Ellie looked at Linda with a focused face, and a different kind of emotion arose from her heart.
"Linda, you're the first person to know I've killed people but don't look at me differently." After this conversation, Eri gradually let go of the invisible burden in his heart, and he began to try to contact the people in the town.

A joyful funeral
Vivian's funeral is approaching, and Linda's parents have rushed back from the field.
In her interactions with them, Eri experienced the difficulties of the parents: Linda liked to be alone since she was a child, and when she grew up, she did not want to live with other people (except for her daughter Vivian, who could help her take out the garbage), and the parents also respected Linda's opinion, and they spent most of their time traveling, emptying the house to Linda and Vivian.
Linda's father tells Eri the story of his past
Ellie also learns about Linda's past: Linda studied at the town's aid center as a teenager, during which time she got close to a male caregiver and became pregnant. By the time the family found out, Linda had been with the baby in her belly for months, so she had Vivian, and the male nurse had long since disappeared.
Knowing everything, Eri is a little distressed, and he begins to examine Vivian's belongings and takes linda's role to arrange everything for the funeral.
Vivian's funeral was held in the church, but Linda didn't seem to know what was going on, and she was drawn to the decorations of the church, looking here, touching there, and laughing in violation. Finally, with the help of his mother, he sat down.
The funeral ended with Vivian's favorite rock 'n' roll.
Then the people of the town gathered at Linda's house to eat snacks and chat, which seemed normal to everyone, but Linda was mad, and she could not accept that there were so many people in the house suddenly.
Linda turned on the stereo and danced and laughed away, scaring away some of the guests, and in a trance, Linda seemed to see Vivian smiling at her again, and in her world Vivian never left.

A special cake
A fresh start
The funeral was over, and as planned, Eri should continue to his destination to meet his ex-girlfriend.
But this time of life has shaken him, he has regarded Linda as family, and he has met many friends.... Rather than embarking on an unknown journey, staying seems like a good choice.
Before agreeing to part, Eri said a big push and sensational word to Linda.
"I'll miss you."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You'll be my lifelong friend."
....
But Linda didn't fit into the atmosphere, she didn't seem to care about Eri's departure, she just worried that the family's garbage would be left unattended. The only perverse thing was that she said, "I think Vivian would have loved the story between us." ”
This was the first time Linda had admitted to bonding with Eri.
Linda was unresponsive to sensationalism
Before leaving, Eri told Linda that he had prepared a surprise, right in the fridge. It turned out that since that time Linda said that she liked to eat snow, he had made a cake out of the snow in the yard.
This was the most special gift Linda had received, and she was extremely happy to eat the cake with excitement on her face.
The re-started Eri understands the true meaning of love: to understand a person, to love a person, not to change him, but to respect and share his unique life and world.
