A very interesting exploration about how society expects domesticity of women—oftentimes including women themselves—as well as learning to find value in solitude. 

I also took note of how Shibata starts to blur the lines of reality more after her talk with Higashinakino about infertility. I took that as her starting to grasp the gravity of her lie and wanting to believe it as not to disturb how she sees herself.
