i understand that it's for plot reasons but still the whole umeko thing was stupid. like he loved her, she loved him back, and it's not that he planned to abandon her forever, he just put distance between himself and the village because there was the risk of him picking up the plague. but he planned to come back in one year or two, no? why dash off lol. even if you're a teenager and stuff... be like, babygirl, i don't want you to die on me so i'll be gone for a while but wait for me. he could have sent letters. see this is what's always making me 🤨 with these lame ass het love stories where the man is bravely heaving under a burden in dignified lonely silence and the woman is waiting his return at the window so sad. there's ways of passing messages... and he comes back EXACTLY on her wedding day awooga... i know this is a very cinemasins tier rant and it's all for the plot for the drama for the suspense for the manpain but it PISSES ME OFF
