Illustrations of Death, time, Grief, and Existentialism themes through selected points of the story.
"Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life, By living our lives, we nurture death." Norwegian Wood.
"With each passing season I grow farther from the dead, Kizuki remains 17, Naoko remains 21."
"When I was in the scene, I hardly paid it any mind. I never stopped to think of it as something that would make a lasting impression, certainly never imagined that eighteen years later I would recall it in such detail."
"Midori is silent for a very long time before asking Toru where he is. He has no idea where he is, and as he looks around at the (shapes of people walking by to nowhere) he calls out for Midori from the (place that is no place)."
