I'd appreciate it if you could help me
This anime is themed around death. "I wish I knew them better." This is a sentiment often heard when a close person passes away. The series challenges viewers with how to interact with someone known to be dying first. In the relationship between parents and children, parents usually die first. Between pets and owners, pets typically go first. Someone diagnosed with a terminal illness dies earlier than those who aren't. How do we spend the "remaining" time with them? The word "remaining" emerges from the consciousness of an end. Is it crucial to approach others with the awareness that their life, too, has an ending?
Of course, the work also empathizes with the overwhelming wave of regret that descends upon those who suddenly lose someone close.
I'll introduce a memorable scene from episode 2. It depicts the everyday life of Freelane and Fern at their place of stay. Fern is lying in a meadow.
Shadows of clouds move, covering her face.
Suddenly, a butterfly flies by.
The screen dramatically shifts. When there's a significant change on the screen and the scene changes, it seamlessly guides the viewers to the next scene. This time, the moment the butterfly appeared in the foreground marked the scene transition.
The composition of this scene places Fern in the foreground, accentuating the depth of the clear blue sky in the background. It's a rarely seen composition, but it worked very well. The previously mentioned butterfly also added an accent to the otherwise static scene, bringing movement and life. Freelane, previously seated and out of view, now stands and stretches, looking over and smiling at Fern.
