Berg, in my opinion, did not better than anyone else. He felt ashamed to admit the relationship with Hanna, and even to visit her when she got in the prison. Hanna is so sensitive, she felt his constraint when she holded him, so everything became chinchin, not communication. She knew Berg didn’t have the courage to face her or the past.

So strong was her self-contemptuous that she could never accept the pity of the “Kid”. Her ending was not a choice, it was an ending.
