#domekhatha

Can we all just appreciate this moment? Yes, it ends with Khatha forcefully grabbing his face and declaring that he isn't cursed and that Dome can't fix anything for him but the way he kneels on the edge of the bed? The way he slowly brings himself closer? Each finger unfurling as he comes nearer his face?

There is so much hesitation and so much tenderness and then he way he turns away afterwards, staring out the window, forlorn, melancholy, ancient and alone but no longer alone as Dome stares at him in return.

Dome is a man with no memory and no past and Khatha has too much memory and too much past behind him and here they are, coming together, meeting each other, discovering a future together that is very much not what either of them expected.

This is everything he didn't do with Chan. This is the life that Chan wanted them to lead but Khatha could not because he did not see a world where it could happen, because he could not bear to apologize to Boon and feared what could be... but brought down exactly what he feared in the end.

Now, he must do what he did not and he must save Dome the way he could not protect Chan and he must face the world as he is and as he fears and with all that he has held back, all he barely held onto, over the years.

Chan was unable to forgive Khatha in the moment and that is his right but Khatha must continue his life, look at his mistakes and learn from them no matter how much he wants to live in the past and hide from those feelings.

Now he has to face Dome, he has to see the face of the man he loved and realize that life does move and does change and that now he has a chance to do the things he couldn't do before, to accept choices he couldn't before, to be there for his found family in a way he couldn't be before.
