Sure this would be natural, but their priorities and outlooks are clouded raising the question of who they are and where they belong. This is something the two main characters Enid(Thora Birch) and Becky(Scarlett Johansson) do not understand due to their age and the feeling that they have to get out of where they've been after they graduate from high school. That sounds really depressing, but it doesn't have to be if we're living in the moment and appreciate what we have, not what we don't. And of course, people just fade away in one way or another. I suppose that would be how the film's title creates a rather analogous feel between the world, people, and how things are never quite what they seem to be. And I say this not to put down the rest of it, but the powerful image and idea of simply disappearing really packs an inherent punch. The way this film ends is what I like most about it.
