@aolinyijiang I understand.
I thought you were showing that Meursault's mother collapsed while Carmen was talking to her.
Because she is standing in the first CG, and on her knees in the second CG.
She seems to have been holding herself back not to hurt Meursault. It resembles Regret EGO.
@aolinyijiang I found it! Here, it says "Father left".
It may be a different scene from the one you are thinking about.
This is from the cutscenes during the fight against the Warden (Chaplain).
@aolinyijiang It can also mean someone died.
But saying 'he left' makes it sound like a decision that was made. So most would say 'passed away'. Though I have also heard 'left'. It is just very ambiguous!
@aolinyijiang In English, saying "Father left" is sometimes a respectful, polite way of saying that they divorced and left the family.
Because saying 'divorce' sounds like an insult ("This father did not love his family!"), and children who still love their parents don't want to insult them.
@aolinyijiang Thank you, teacher!
Is this from a different translation from English?
I remember reading the line as "father left". I might have misread. Or I might have incorrectly remembered.
@aolinyijiang I wonder what similarities there are in Meursault giving birth his Maman and giving Pwie clothes?
What is the parallel for Pwie?
Is it as Meursault gave to his mother, his mother gave to him?
So Pwie got what Meursault gave, as Pwie is like Meursault?
