So before episode 9, i went through the first 6 episodes and picked out things that sorta eluded to more of a backstory for yuri on ice than we were given. Now i know why I was sure that Victor had to be interested in Yuuri months before Yuuri skated ‘stay close to me.’ While i knew that, i just never imagined that Victor had fallen for a drunk Yuuri and that he might have been thinking of that banquet over the course of the series. Like the scene in episode 2 where he looks like he cried himself to sleep, was i right to assume those were tears? Was he hurt that Yuuri was so cold to him after the drunken banquet seductions?
