!!Tropes:
* DestructiveRomance: Bernard and Mathilde know they're really toxic for each other, but for whatever reason can't resist pursuing a relationship, despite how badly they've hurt each other in the past. The present relationship turns out to be not much better and the end result is very, very bad for both of them.
* LiterallyLovingThyNeighbor: The story starts with Mathilde moving right next door to Bernard, and the two rekindle their old relationship. It's right there in the title.
* MurderSuicide: After being released from the hospital, Mathilde goes to see Bernard again and the two start having sex. Mathilde pulls out a gun in the middle of it and shoots Bernard, then herself, killing them both.
* NotListeningToMeAreYou: In the middle of telling her distracted shrink about Madame Jouve's history of unhappy love, Mathilde suddenly says "And that's when I decided to kill my mother!" to see if he was listening.
* SelfHarm: In their first clandestine hotel meeting, Bernard sees scars in Mathilde's wrists, which she says are because of him. It's one of the first signs that this affair won't end well.
* YourCheatingHeart: Both Bernard and Mathilde are married and they at least claim to love their spouses, but that fact doesn't stop them from pursuing an affair with each other.
