It was a story filled with questions and the unfamiliarity of someone within what's usually normal to men and women in general. The desolation and deafening silence of living in a world with no one around, and the dying hope that there ever will be? What of the facts and knowledge the heroine had learned yet it was of no use as there was nothing to work for? No one to share that learned knowledge with? It's like screaming at a four-cornered wall, yet an echo never comes back. It is to the point that the things she never had use of, of what made her woman, were the cause of her death, or forced her rather. It leaves an afterthought that her life was eventually justified, but by what means?
