Part 9/10:
The Quiet End: Realization and Acceptance
As she walks through their emptied home, touching remnants of their life together—a chipped mug, an old drawing—she understands that her careless words, her need to be humorous, inadvertently set the stage for the unraveling of everything.

The final scenes depict her sitting in his chair, contemplating the vacancy where he once was, and accepting the painful truth that her own actions—words spoken in ignorance, a misguided sense of humor—had led to her downfall. She hopes that one day he might regret abandoning her, but instinctively, she knows he's already stopped listening long before he left.
