#just so you can experience the brief delusional relief of some small lost fragments being made whole

Saw kind of dropped the puzzle piece symbolism early on in the series, but I keep thinking about it as a metaphor for John and Amanda’s relationship. A father missing a living child and a daughter missing a loving father, two puzzle pieces that should fit perfectly together but can’t in any healthy way, and whose insistence on sticking together despite all the warnings signs causes irreparable damage not only to themselves but to the other puzzle pieces in the larger puzzle of humanity.
