28. Hanahaki Definition


Something about having absolutely no definition or context for what the Hanahaki Disease is makes me worried that the movie won't be understood. Having a small definition at the end of the credits can tie the whole story together, without leaving the audience so confused that they won't understand any of it. This also keeps the idea of keeping the audience in the dark for the entire film to then give the needed context. 

It would be relatively short and involve the nessecessary information.


Something similar to:

Hanahaki Disease: A disease where a victim coughs up flower parts, due to extreme one-sided love. 

There are only two known cures: To confess to the person the victim is in love with or have the flower surgically removed from your lungs; however, the victim cannot love anyone every again.

If neither of these cures are taken, the victim will choke and suffocate on the flowers, leading to death. 


This would be right after the credits leave the screen and the definition fades in each sentence at a time. It would be on screen for about 10 seconds, as it is relatively long and people may have to reread it more than once to fully understand. After that, the definition all fades to black and the story will end. 

This is somewhat how I would have the words enter the screen. The placement and text size are not correct, I didn't want to fight with Rush.
