No problem, I always have to re-read Ogawa's works like five times before I start to get an idea of what she is writing about.... that part confuses me too? I think that his father is afraid of letting the public know what he is really like, and his son knows this and uses this against him because if his father relocated, he wouldn't be able to control his father anymore. so yeah, like you said, if people found out their relationship, relocating wouldn't matter anymore because everyone would know the truth, and his son would be able to have even more control over him... something like that? Fun times
I think it is more that the son was raped by his father to the point where he got addicted to it also realizing it made him crazy, so when he finds out the father wants to flee he reacts like this, like "why are you fleeing, you made me into this now we are here together"
Can anyone explain to me the ending??? I love it sooooo much but i don't really understand the ending. I kind of get it tho, but i think i might be wrong (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
