What? Foreshadowing his death? What gave you that idea?
I mean the fact that this manga is based on a book, based on a real solo climber who's known for dying on the first mountain climb he went on someone else with............
In the volume the title was shorted from "Overture to Ruin" to just "Overture". So, more subtle.
