Like how water fluidly slides down a person’s back, she doesn’t hold onto her resentments. She lets her worries float away.
One of her soon-to-be ex’s sins was to borrow her money without repayment. Financial irresponsibility doesn’t make for a healthy love. Since she’s happy about ending the relationship anyways, she forgives the debt. Hey, it’s one more way she can feel superior.

Natasha now realizes that her lover looked like Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of rock band Nirvana. She did not notice this before when they were together and in the heat of the moment. It hit her after the relationship died.
Cobain’s pain stemmed from his drug addiction and depression, which ultimately lead to his suicide at age 27. Similarly aged youth also have the same problems, so maybe her lover had more in common with Cobain than long hair…

Later we come to see The Weeknd’s MANIA and the Black Panther theme in the Starboy music video, adds up to it.
