Միրհավ նման է <<Սաադիի վերջին գարունը>> ստեղծագործությանը։Ունենում է դժբախտ ավարտ.Սոնան մահանում է ,իսկ Դիլան Դային՝ծեր արդեն , ամուսնանում է,բայց միշտ հիշում Սոնային ու իրեն այգու խուցը,որտեղ առաջին անգամ աշնանը համբուրվել են։
There are people who've seen light and are forever taken away into darkness. They will dream of the light ever after. There are people who've heard music and are forever put into silence. They will dream of the melody ever after. There are people who've felt love and are forever numbed. They will dream of life ever after. There are people like Dilan Dayi.
