This was originally a game that children played together, and the rules were that each person represented a fruit, and whichever fruit was called would be put into the fruit basket symbolized as the group, and that person would have to join the group to play. Tooru Honda did this game when she was a child, but she was slow to be called because she represented not a fruit, but a rice ball. Although only Tooru played this game, all the characters in the story seem to be in the middle of it. Simply put, the Kusama family is like a rice ball placed in a fruit basket, so out of place with these people who live in loneliness and isolation; to put it in another way, if ordinary people are fruits, the Kusama family becomes rice balls out of place with ordinary people. More importantly, it is like the participants of this game, all they can do is wait for no other choice.
