Someone asked for others opinions on this chapter after everything happened. So disclaimer everyones entitled to an opinion and thus was my take on it if you disagree or agree id love to hear other opinions., I was going to put it under their comment, but I also like hearing about others, so that's why it's separate ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
The family dynamic of theres is not like others. They dont really speak well or share feelings which is why the ml went to therapy to learn. I bring this up as the reason why she talked about the miscarriage. Because in the story the miscarriage what spiken about to the docter. The ml knew the baby was gone and the mc said they figured out the fetus was not moving either. All of the whispers in the hospital was about the baby being miscarried. The mother in law was sharing experiences to help the mc out. To be able to tell them she understands. It wasnt rlly about bad omen cus she already knew the fetus would not survive. Her reasoning to share the miscarriage info was to help normalize that it can happen and it will be okay. With how the dynamic is with how they speak to there own sons it seemed like a normal carring convo. But the mc is not alright he has a mental crisis and so as the view of this kinda convo comes out as jinxing/rude.
The father "venting" is not actually venting tho. He is upset cus they were late. The first time I read this I was angry because no one was comforting him. But I have reread this a couple of times and now I can see why he was complaining. The mc is in a state of mind where he wanta to be okay and treating him differently would have made him feel worse. The mc is a very strong character and so the father in law (who is very stong with his emotions) probably wanted him to feel normal. Which back when they first meet he intimidated him and so if he acted differently the mc could have been off put by it. When the father in law took it to far the ml was able to stand up for the mc.
Okay idk how to go about this the seaweed soup. But hopefully my understanding makes sense. The whole story revolves around how the mc grieves and grows into another version of himself who will process his grief. Before he was okay with the bad that happened to him and allowed humself to get hurt. He never processed his sorrows with his family BUT he was able to with his unborn fetus. He acknowledged he could not have his child in the state he was in. Just because the mc did not have a baby does not make him anyless of a parent. Thats the point of the seaweed soup. That yes all this has happened to him and yes he lost his baby but that doesn't mean he has to pretende he never had one. The mc is able to acknowledged that while his baby did not survive he is still a parent and a legitimate part of there family. Its the symbolic meaning behind offering the soup
