And what the father most frequently said during the New Year's time was, "Another year has passed. Regina, do you know I've lived another year? You said and you did it. You said one day you would give me the deepest punishment, so this is your punishment, right? Every year I live is another year you punish me, isn't it? As long as I'm still alive, will it make you a little happier? Alright then, I'll keep living until I can no longer go on."
For the Kinston Family, losing a loved one meant that living on was just a form of suffering. Finally, when the father reached 17, he could no longer go on and finally took his own life. When he died, there was a smile on his lips. To him, death had always been his pursuit, while living was just some imposed wish, hoping it would make his mother a little happier.
Or perhaps, when the father was lucid, he decided to live so he could raise him into adulthood. Only after confirming he could live independently did the father choose death.
