Reading the last page of this book and I am heavily confused and I had to Google the ending so it could be dumbed down for me

"I needed to come here to find out that there is such a thing as love without desire, the way I love Olina"

"these tears were life, a raging torrent formed from countless streams"

So I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the last few pages back Andrea and the prostitute have kind of fallen into weird love and I'm trying to wrap my head round it

"Every death is murder, every death in war is a murder for which some is responsible."

"The last night was beginning, and the last day had passed like all the others, wasted and meaningless."

"I wanted to be a pianist too."

"Life is beautiful, he thought, it was beautiful. Twelve hours before my death I have to find out that life is beautiful, and it's too late. I've been ungrateful, I've denied the existence of human happiness. And life was beautiful."

"It's a terrible thing to maltreat a person because that person seems ugly to you."

Beautiful sentence right? He just discussed pushing a prostitute and verbally abusing her and said he probably wouldn't have done it if she was pretty
