This is a story about grief and the mother-daughter relationship between two women who are broken and have not known anything better. The manhwa's premise is that the protagonist's mother has died, but their relationship was never the best—marked by indifference, something cold. In that situation, do you have the right to feel sadness? I think everyone who has lost a loved one can say that initially, it feels like they are still there. Sometimes, we may feel guilt for not making the most of the time when they were alive. I believe the part where the protagonist reaches this point in grief is the ... most painful to read because it can happen to anyone.

Throughout the narrative, there is a discussion of regret both in the actions you took in your life and what you didn't do. Additionally, I think the reason why daughters hold resentment towards their mothers comes from generational trauma. I like how this theme is incorporated. This reminded me of something that happens in my family, which might resonate with you, dear reader. My grandmother is a wonderful woman to me, but i know she wasn´t with my aunt, she hurt her a lot but my aunt knows how much my grandma sacrificed for the family, even after all the pain she still loves her, it's hard to understand but I believe that's the best summary I can give of this story—our parents sometimes hurt us because they themselves carry wounds from years ago. It's up to each one of us to decide whether to forgive.
