The tragedy of Scott’s "free" existence is that it is hollow. The franchise’s brilliance lies in stripping these comforts away. The narrative forces him to understand that relationships are not free; they come with "baggage." Ramona literally carries a bag that glows with the subspace of her past. To love her, Scott must accept that he has to pay the emotional toll of her history. He cannot get the girl for free; he has to defeat the ghosts of her past to secure a future. scott pilgrim free
