We Do Not Part

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death.

Inseon perceives that it is getting slightly warmer outside. She suggests that they go to look at the location where they will plant logs in the ground for their film. Kyungha does not want to go outside, but she is consumed by thoughts of mass graves and bodies rotting and realizes that it might be preferable to remaining inside with her thoughts. 

Inseon grabs the candle and begins to make her way outside, turning back to tell Kyungha to walk in her footprints so that she does not get lost. Kyungha doesn’t understand the route Inseon is taking; she is confused by her surroundings and does not recognize anything, although she is sure that they should be on a path she is familiar with. She wants to turn back, but Inseon reassures her that they will be fine and insists that they press on. 

When they stop, Inseon tells Kyungha that she visited this spot with her mother. She recounts the long months she spent caring for her mother as she was dying. Her mother became increasingly confused and often mistook Inseon for one of her own sisters.
