In contrast to Kitchen, Moon light Shadow describes the relationship between Satsuki and Hiiragi, who have both lost their lovers in the same accident and are not able to come to terms with it. Hiiragi wears his lover’s skirt as a means of venting his loss, while Satsuki takes up jogging. Though there is very little ranting over and over on the lovers lost, and more focus on these two, the tragedy burdens us heavily.
The thoughts on death were repeatedly crossing my mind, recently. Everyone knows that they are bound to die, then why do we fear our own death, and brood over those of loved ones. After all death seems to be the grand finale, then why? Seems to be - since it is still unclear. Is it that we are completely switched off, or working so feebly, incapable of communicating, that we are not completely off. Isn't that eerie?
Death or any ending for that matter, is not about its occurrence but rather the way it occurred, or the path of occurrence. Not having waved off a proper good bye, not having communicated enough, not having made our thoughts clear, causes more anguish and stays with us forever. And every time our heart and mind are over with the present, and have some "me" time, this abrupt affair of the past takes over and torments the soul.
And what ultimately may relieve us, and deliver us from the pathos that swamps us, would just be a proper good bye. Is it possible? Or will it just stand a chance of a hundred years, the appearance of the blue moon, and many other conditions, which when met, may create the magic, and redeem us. Sounds like the conditions apply tag with a double star?
Well... I personally liked Moonlight shadow better.
