I could be waaaaay the fuck off, but I see a paralell of sorts between the end of Parabol/Parabola and the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The confusion, the pain, the isolation, running away from it all, and finding something that symbolizes something higher, something sent from above, so to speak. In 2001, The Great Monolith, and in Parabol/Parabola, the burning leaf. Again, simply a paralell I noticed flipping thru channels
