I think my brain short-circuited. Such an incredible story about the heard mentality which is something I've been seeing a lot lately and I have no one to talk about it!!!!! The blindness of following the tradition without knowing it's origin and why do we need to follow it and being scolded for trying to criticize it, and for the last scene i like to believe that the author chose the victim to the wife/mother bc in real life and for the longest time, men are the one's who make the policy/tradition/rule and even if we don't agree with it we have to abide by it even if it makes us suffer I would've loved to see what could've happened if the winner was a different person
