holy is OUT holy has DESTROYED ITS CAGE
damn. reading this was like watching a train crash in slow motion—you can see where it’s going and you’re still kind of hoping it’ll crank the brakes at the last second while also knowing that the time anyone could have stopped is long past.
the feeling of palpable isolation—other characters rarely mentioned on screen, and a tense or hostile presence when they are; luna being away from home in a place where she only has one person she can talk to, literally—underlines the characters’ relationship really well, i think. so tightly in each others’ orbit that the crash is inevitable.
also the last screen was really just. incredible final note to end on.
