Vanish.
Pass into nothingness: the Keats line that frightened her.
Fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes.
Go back into the blue.
I myself placed her ashes in the wall.
I myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six.
I know what it is I am now experiencing.
I know what the frailty is, I know what the fear is.
The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall.
What is lost is already behind the locked doors.
The fear is for what is still to be lost.
You may see nothing still to be lost.
Yet there is no day in her life on which I do not see her.
~Didion's reflection on the fear of what is yet to be lost parallels the film's central theme of embracing the complexities of love despite the inherent risks. As Joel and Clementine confront the erasure of their shared past, they ultimately choose to reconcile the beauty and pain of their relationship, acknowledging that the fear of loss is inseparable from the profound joy of love.
