The quote from "Moonlight Sins" reveals the character's deep acceptance of their flaws and brokenness. They express a strong belief that their imperfections are integral to their identity, suggesting that being "fixed" would strip away their authenticity. This highlights a profound understanding of oneself, where the individual embraces their complexities and experiences rather than wishing to conform to societal expectations of perfection.

Furthermore, the character challenges Ms. Hughes by questioning whether she can accept the genuine, unrefined aspects of who they are. This exchange emphasizes the importance of genuine relationships where acceptance of one’s true self, including all the flaws, is necessary. It reflects a journey of self-acceptance and encourages others to embrace their own imperfections as part of their reality.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
