That moment when Shuya discovers his father’s note is like a gut punch.

It paints a haunting picture of how hopelessness can ripple across generations, especially in a society where failing to "make it" feels like the ultimate defeat.

It’s tragic to see that even in his last message, Shuya's father is trying to project encouragement, but you can't help but feel the overwhelming weight of despair behind those words.

This small detail of the toilet paper note really drives home how fragile hope is, especially in a culture gripped by economic collapse.

Thanks for sharing!
