I loved this chapter. It gave us a look through Koto's grief and it is SO real.
What happened to Koto happens a lot. I had a friend that became a widow at 30 yo and he was just like her.
Even after years, he never managed to date someone, because he was always thinking about his late wife. In his mind, she was perfect, their life would be perfect, their house would be perfect, the children they would have would be perfect, they would never fight, never struggle. How could any living person compete with that? Everyone makes mistakes, every couple argues. But when someone isn't here anymore you can just say "well A would never do that! A wouldn't say that!" and how can anyone prove otherwise?
Idealizing the one you lost is a sure way to be miserable forever.
Grief is no joke.
