******SPOILER WARNING********
I'm pretty sure I have it all, but the offered explanation for the ghosts not wanting to make more ghosts by making people immortal by locking them in their own loneliness doesn't make sense when all of the people they have contact with either commit suicide (hanging, blowing their brains out) or fade into the wall, thereby becoming ghosts themselves. I got the whole zietgiest of the loneliness in both the ghost and human worlds and the isolation which is being hurried by technology which gives us false interaction that doesn't really touch us in the same way. I even got the moral of the gal running from interaction when it's offered to her and running back into the loneliness she fears so much. The background history of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki deaths and the emptiness of Tokyo, the most populace city in the world was interesting...the whole alone in a sea of people thing. I just think they missed the boat with the explanation and the ending just left me feeling like it was trite. I still liked it and thought it was very interesting and thought provoking, it just it could have been so much more.
