CW: cw discussion of suicides in the film
It doesn't escape my attention that there's a lot of red in the moment that one lady leaps off the structure and dies on impact. Obviously there'd be the blood. (She leaves behind a black stain, like everyone else does, no matter the manner of their death or disappearance, the same color as the ghosts.)
When Harue shoots herself, she's wearing a purple or maroon, not necessarily a red; she hasn't always been sticking to those highly specific colors, most people in the story don't do that most of the time. And there's not a speck of red, even when they lift her body and carry her away. Not a speck of red. A totally bloodless suicide, with a gun.
