#last dance

I don't know who the artist of this art is, but I can't help but appreciate this one with all my heart. The realness of their relationship and their tragedy is so beautifully shown in this one. The beautiful laughter on suguru's face shows his personality so well.. he's a literal ball of sunshine, he loved satoru so much and wanted nothing more than satoru's happiness and safety. Even in this art, he is so happy to dance with satoru, his one and only love. People might get the wrong idea of suguru being selfish, but I don't think there was anything he wanted more than the well-being of satoru.

Satoru on the other hand is completely lost in the Suguru he once had. The one who laughed at everything he said, every joke he cracked. The one who would lighten his mood up with just his smile. He once again sees the smile and this might be the last. Their last dance....

This song really fits this art imo.

Selected lines from Episode 13 (Series 1 finale)

What could I possibly dream of now, in this world?

I'll drive a screaming spear through your heart this time, (name)!

We don't need him conscious, just open him up.

Your soul belongs to me!

Release me! Do not taint me with your impurity.

This was what I was born for.

Don't think your thoughts are safe in here. Wherever here is.

You're not inspiring me with hope here.

(name) is a madman, there's no telling what (she/he/they) might do to us.

(name) uses morality as a guise for (his/her/their) experiments. That's all this is.

I'm forced to look at a life I've never lived.

We need allies, no matter what came before.

What was so important you'd leave half your soul behind!?

What will it takes before he abandons you?

This life is isolating, and it will only become moreso.

I am not meant for mourning.

Once again, I serve a purpose.

I never betrayed you. I betrayed them.

I'm a slave to feelings.

I'm almost done, but this is a crucial moment.

Cookery is important, it opens the mind to new possibilities.

It's a precise alchemy to get this right.

I've been reading through your notes, you've had quite a journey.

The ritual wasn't just mimicry. (He/she/they) was aiming to surpass what came before.

Just because they deny it, and you can't comprehend it, doesn't mean the process isn't there. You merely require a new lens of understanding.

Alchemy on the grandest scale is interpersonal, the careful placement of relationships, how they rise and fall, the what they make of the elements involved.

But how many kings did they silently crown?

You have shed your old perspective, and now joined it with mine.

Eight have become a house of two.

Alchemy is nothing but the rules we do not notice. Until we do.

I don't know who I should be commanding and who I should be murdering.

We're away from the worst of it but it's starting to pick up. I can feel it.

Best way to keep a secret is not to tell anyone.

Give me your rage.

Do what you were made to do, just the same as me.

Anyone who approaches us dies. No questions.

He's hiding from you, like a petty child.

I would imagine we can agree on delaying this conversation?

The risk is too high, the eastern wing is more valuable than my life. Better that it remains sealed forever.

Great men require great spaces.

I don't get jealous of my sword because it cuts better than my hand. I just use the thing, and put it away when I'm finished.

Your identity is not worth wasting my time.

They could have snuck their most elite into my court...

It could just be luck. Convenience exists.

It's coming for me.

Whatever is going to happen now, it's out of our control.

We came here to save (his/her/their) life and you've doomed (him/her/them)!

Let my death be their last victory.

Today's world belongs to them. Tomorrow's world belongs to you.

I never could see past my own vision. And I couldn't see you, or how easily they'd twist you.

You're a scavenger, so start taking what's theirs and make it your own.

I walk in paths - tread only by gods.

What do you see now?

I see a Visiian sunrise. I see tomorrow's world.
