So...the grandmother gave Laura arsenic and called it "magic powder," but for what purpose? Then Laura unwittingly kills her mother and the step-daughter does the same to Laura...I would call it karma, if it weren't for the fact that they were innocent and ignorant children who had no idea what they were doing. I wonder why the author wrote such a story? Was it to point out how we, as a society and or as a world, unwittingly do terrible things to the detriment of other people?
"He's bored so he robs banks...it moves my heart that he can say that...I know something about the emptiness he (Riichi) feels."
I mean, really? I burst out laughing when I read this part...
well, move his heart would be a little exaggerated but I can kind of understand how that seemed pretty interesting lol








I'm wondering why the guy shut Won in the cellar...to help her overcome her fear or her to make sure that she can't leave him--to deepen her attachment to him as her rescuer from her trauma, from her emptiness, from her loneliness?
Uhm... You're thinking too deep into this. I think it's the former. Hee won need to face her own fear alone to overcome the trauma. But he was there with her too.
