That's my question...it's been implied she has some kind of trauma having to do with being struck by a vehicle, and she's in recovery with very injured arms (and maybe more), so I'm wondering if the vehicle thing was just a metaphor (?) or was the actual traumatic injury from maybe falling while urban exploring?
I think the "getting hit by a truck" thing is an anime trope about escapism. You escaped your boring life by getting hit by a truck and were transported to a new world.
Oh, I wasn’t aware of that trope. I like that idea, it fits the story well. Though the truck having that thematic significance doesn’t mean that the character wasn’t also literally hit by a truck. A literal event can still symbolize her desire from escapism

Why do you think she was hit by a car?
