So perhaps for Murakami, that's the Ur disappearance, you know, the original source of all these disappearances.
But in those final moments where he says, you know, he's a voodoo doll, a sorcerer has blown life into him, he's destined for some kind of sacrifice.

That's change.
Yeah.
And ultimately, you can read the story in many different ways.
You could see it as a sort of supernatural mystery, or you can just see it as what happens when you get a divorce, you know, and you lose yourself and you lose the identity you've been comfortable in.
