In The City and its Uncertain Walls, I felt like Boku was separating himself from reality, like he had some kind of emotional schizophrenia. After he lost contact with the girl, he changed The city once she once described as quiet,walled with peace and no pain became his reality, he no longer seeked any human connection rather he sinked in the world without shadows being with his real self. In Chapter 1, the girl tells him, “You just need to wish your way in… But truly wishing for something, from the heart, isn’t that simple… You might have to give up all sorts of things.” This hit hard and felt like a warning, but he went in with that anyway. It almost feels he doesn't know which side he belongs to and that uncertainty is the core. He wanted to be in a world not to live but to hide in. The town became everything for him because it asked nothing from him, no memory, no love. He disappeared in a place that cost him nothing but his whole self.
