How is Ange's story "the narrative"?

Ange's story does not represent reality. It's just one of many stories about Rokkenjima. We aren't told the details of that story because no one knows them (except Eva, and she dies).

Look at it this way: every story is explained, except for one. Don't get caught up on that one story.

4. A fight breaks out, resulting in the death of everyone but Kinzo and Beatrice
5. The nukes are dropped, the war ends, Rokkenjima is forgotten in the resulting chaos

Maybe I'm just dumb. You'll have to point out the obvious to me.
