Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.
I know, I know. It’s still sad. But for someone like Tobias, who went a long time without trusting anyone and without forming meaningful connections, this is a particularly hopeful ending. He recognizes that he can’t go it alone. None of us can. Pain comes for all of us—we can’t escape or avoid it. But we can bear it, and endure it, especially if we have each other.
Song for this last scene: “Rabbit Heart” by Florence + The Machine.
