ending moved
it read that as: They keep looking at Mara and at people standing together, and never at the things: the boxes, the toolbox, the building, the door. For them this isn't a story about losing a house or what Otto keeps. It's about Mara, the one who carries everyone, and whether anyone will carry her. Home here means the people, not a place or its objects.
