Beautiful

I read things like these because they often illustrate the things that real people experiencing, those pains and frustrations and world crippling events that can destroy someone.

Fumichi suffered, but did not know how to get away, or if he even deserved to. He allowed himself to be toyed with. In the end, Fumichi is beginning to grow out of his self inflicted restraints, and the open ending reflects the myriad of different paths a development like this could take. It's up to us to think and decide.

And on the note of the lack of persecution, this kind of thing is so common in real life. Criminals go unpunished, and that's our painful reality. Fumichi may never get justice.
