After he retired at age 63, he decided to spend his free time with his family, only to quickly find that he couldn't stand any of them.

Gould left his family, and came out of retirement not long after.

Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World / int_c0961831	comment	Interrupted Suicide: After the death of Isabelle, Karen decided to commit suicide by diving to the bottom of the ocean and waiting for her oxygen tank to run out. She passes out, then suddenly wakes up, her tank almost empty. She wants to live now, but doesn't have the strength to swim to the surface. Then she sees a beautiful angel swimming towards her, and when she touches it, her whole body feels electrified. The angel takes her hand and lifts her to safety. As she rises, she realizes what actually happened: she was shocked by a jellyfish, which her hypoxic brain saw as an angel, and which is now trying to flee from her as she holds onto it. She lets the jellyfish go and swims to the surface with the last of her strength.

Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World / int_cfbd1467	comment	Never Suicide: Japan's minister of agriculture, livestock, and fisheries commits suicide by hanging himself from the living room door of his apartment. Karen becomes convinced he couldn't have done it - suicide is seen as honorable, but being seen in your pajamas and being strangled with a dog leash are not honorable, and it's impossible to hang yourself from a door without going through the time-consuming process of nailing the leash to something. Karen doesn't think much about it for the next few years, until the same group of eco-terrorists threatens to kill her if she doesn't stop killing tuna, and later blows up all seven of her fisheries.

Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World / int_e9a47d03	comment	Never Learned to Talk: At age nine, Karen communicates only in grunts. Isabelle takes her in and teaches her to speak, starting with the pronouns "Me" and "You." Karen learns to read at the same time she learns to talk, so Isabelle sticks labels on everything in the house and has the staff wear tags showing their job titles. Soon Karen talks nonstop, gleefully reciting lists of nouns and things she heard on the radio.

Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World / int_f6d623ca	type	Eco-Terrorist
Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World / int_f6d623ca	comment	Eco-Terrorist: Karen is kidnapped by four members of the Animal Rights Militia, who hate her because True Blue Tuna's cruelty-free tuna sells for so much that it's increased the price of all bluefin tuna, which worsens the overfishing problem. The terrorists threaten to blow up her plane if she doesn't shut down all her fisheries in six months, then release her. Karen reports the kidnapping to Interpol, who fail to find the kidnappers, but assure her that although ARM has no qualms about destruction of property or psychological torture, they draw the line at physical violence. A few years later, the same people blow up all seven of True Blue Tuna's fisheries. Karen is actually grateful, because she was already planning to shut down the fisheries and turn her artificial tuna breeding grounds into a tuna preserve.
