Being in Trafalgar Square today, thinking about Ethan just falling into Benji’s arms and the way Benji without hesitation pulls him in for the hug
And then thinking about how physically distant Ethan was with Benji through most of DR - even the shoulder touches were done with Ethan facing away from Benji
And how they seem to have got closer, how Benji knows his hug will be welcomed, is what Ethan needs and how Ethan without thinking takes his comfort from Benji - I’m guessing that very soon after DR and before Benji left for London, the two of them had another conversation about how Benji will not leave him, but also Ethan admitting, perhaps for the first time to Benji, perhaps for the first time to himself, just how much he needs Benji, how Benji makes it all better. How he survives and keeps going for Benji.
The Entity Box unlocked Ethan’s love for Benji, but they were already a bit closer than they had been since before Lane.
Better photo of Trafalgar Square - this is the lion Benji is standing beside, each time
Today I am going to look at art, which means the National Gallery, which means Trafalgar Square, which means I am going to think about THEM again.
I just love that one of my favourite places has become such an meaningful place for Benthan. The place where we first saw them hug on screen - where an exhausted and close to the edge Ethan collapsed into the supportive and loving arms of Benji, finally taking comfort that had been so freely offered all these years, expressing his need for Benji with more than just a shoulder touch. The place where Ethan thought about his life, and decided to turn his back on the Mission to follow Benji. I can remember that every time I go to Trafalgar Square and I love it.
Living for the moment in TFR when Ethan runs away from Benji and scrambles into the jeep and Benji is watching him from the corner of the bomb, so intently, certain that is his last sight of Ethan.
And Ethan still staring at Benji as he settles into the jeep. It’s very fast, you can only see it if you slow down the scene, but it’s there, Ethan just as intently staring back at Benji, watching him, afraid he’ll never see him again and yet determined to get back to him.
It’s the briefest flicker, something you can only see if you watch very carefully, but it shows leaving Benji is as difficult for Ethan as it is for Benji, that it’s tearing Ethan apart to do it.

The key is like Ethan’s heart - broken, hidden, hoarded.
Ethan got back the key’s pieces bit by bit, from people he cared about, from his enemies, from someone who came to his side, and from the man who had killed his first love, Marie.
Then as soon as the key - the heart - was whole and in Ethan’s possession again, he handed it over to Benji, his normal shoulder touch more of a caress.
Just a little thought about the symbolism of that key.
(I also think it represents Benji and Ethan together being two halves of the whole)
