Symbol for victory, marks the breakthrough in Yuichi’s grieving process while showcasing the power of human connection
shortly after Mikage learns of Eriko’s death and is cooking a large meal for Yuichi with all his favorite foods.
Blends the process into Mikage’s innate character, suggests without it, she would be incomplete and powerless
Suggests how grief is entangled into everyday life, never truly disappears and will interrupt the present with memories of the past
outside the window stars are glittering, lonely”
Evokes a quiet, reflective tone that is almost detached, preventing the story from feeling overly emotional or sentimental and reflecting the raw way people process grief in reality
filters and limits readers point of view (eg. characters are only understood through Mikage’s interpretation) and the story overall being told subjectively and emotionally.
Contains a subtle violent undertone, allowing Mikage to forcefully untangle and release the trapped, convoluted melancholic emotions
Now only the kitchen and I are left. It’s just a little nicer than being all alone”
Creates an overwhelming atmosphere that inflicts Mikage and the reader with a flood of emotions, which is unquantifiable and abstract
Auditory imagery: anticipatory silence
Creates a chilling, unsettling atmosphere that causes the reader to feel discomfort, whereas “sparkling,” evokes a lighthearted, happy tone, causing the reader to feel uplifted and hopeful of Yuichi’s recovery from Eriko’s death
First meal that Mikage makes; process provided her with comfort and a sense of control and self-sufficiency following the death of her grandma
