the fact that it was filmed after the night of the waning gibbous moon makes the whole thing even better. hudson wiping away connor’s tears in the bathroom and reassuring him that his face isn’t puffy from crying, he’s beautiful and he’ll still look perfect tomorrow. mr 110% dedicated to his career choosing to forego his beauty sleep in favor of spending the night in each other’s laps 🫠
what a beautiful addition to the lore truly. hudson had a flight like 3 hours after they got back to their hotels. connor had to serve cunt on an ad shoot. and yet they still spent every single second they could together. they opened the rooftop just to hang out. i bet they were the last ones on the dancefloor at the final afterparty, the lights on, exhausted and annoyed staff mopping the floors and stacking the glasses as aika's grabbing at hudson's wrist, asking him where he clothes went, and hudson still won't let go of connor's hand as he's being pulled towards the exit. he's asking aika isn't there another party we can go to? but they're fresh out. the cars are waiting. it's time for goodbye again, and neither of them want to talk about why it keeps getting harder every time.
