1Q84 and Ushikawa (Spoiler Alert)
Ushikawa has always been my fav antagonist and he's the only antagonist who made me feel bad about his past as well as his fate. It all start from here.. 1Q84 Book 3 Chapter 13 💀
"He never opened up to anyone about the thought that his ordinary life would never last. Deep down he was convinced that one day it would all too easily fall apart - his busy days as a lawyer, his generous income, his nice house in Chuorinkan, his not-bad-looking wife, his cute daughters, both attending private elementary school, his pedigreed dog. So when his life steadily fell apart bit by bit and he was left all alone, he was actually relieved. Thank God, he thought. Noth-ing to worry about now. I'm back right where I started.
Is this what it means to go back to square one?"
