That’s because her relationship with Rudo is the embodiment of the story’s themes. Manifested in the rabbit doll which represent Rudo himself.
>Thrown away by family (His parents)
>Found in the trash, fixed up and given new purpose (Regto)
>given away out of love (Rudo giving Chiwa the doll represents how he has been ‘fixed’ and is showing her a vulnerable part of himself that was previously trampled on)
>Thrown away like trash (Chiwa discards the doll just as Rudo is thrown away like garbage. Completely crushing any innocence Rudo had left and breaking him)
His experience on the Ground is effectively him being a broken object that is being recycled. A ‘pure girl’ can’t even begin to comprehend what he has been through or understand how to be there for him. Just like how Rudo himself could empathise with discarded objects due to his trauma, he himself needs someone who can see ‘trash’ like himself and see value.
Chiwa’s ‘purity’ is the exact thing that made her vulnerable to conformity, ignorance and naivety. She heartlessly discarded Rudo the moment he was considered trash. Because she has no idea what it means to be trash. An impure girl fundamentally understands him in a way that no other girl can.
