What I don't understand is, that Cinnamon's father was found dead with his heart and other body parts missing. A little boy discovers a heart dug in that hole. This is probably Cinnamon. But when he witnesses this, his father was still alive, because he mentions waking up his father and mother. Then, there is the whole thing about Cinnamon's father becoming more distant as time went by after he married Nutmeg and the little boy (probably Cinnamon) finding someone identical to him sleeping in his bed when he came back to his room. Somewhere in the middle of this, he stops speaking. I have a really strong feeling that there is concrete answer to this, something connecting all the open threads and that the answer lies in the strange philosophy and the things told to us in this book. It's so frustrating that the answer seems to be at the edge of my mind but I still do not come up with anything. I know that Murakami leaves a lot of loose ends but I really think that this is a mystery which can be solved, if the right theory or explanation is applied.

Didn't that happen like in a dream-like state(Cinnamon finding the heart)? I he saw the heart before his dad had actually died.
There seem to be two worlds, and things that happen in the other world seem to have outcomes in our world. Perhaps the boy actually killed his own father by digging up the heart in the other world. But why?
In our world there are several characters who can't die, or are at least extremely hard to kill. Perhaps his father was one of them, and ripping all him organs out was the only way to kill him. Perhaps his own son had to be tricked into helping.
The twin he found in his bed reminds me of the twins in 1Q84.
