The descriptions of the brother's imaginary world, and of Denise's boyfriend were excellent.
In thinking about it, after finishing, it is the parallel but divergent paths of two siblings. If he catalogs and collects, she throws away and cleans.
The write up says "Nik retreats and leaves Denise to navigate the real world on her own' and you feel very sorry for her - she seems capable, she did things as a younger person, she 'lived', but she seems at a slow ebb all the way toward the end of life.
