"naim, if you see anything that looks like me, don't go near it. it won't be me, it will never be me"

he is heartbroken 💔 i cannot handle this. but it's also the consequences of his own actions

The fact that Ryan throws the rock as well just seems so off for entity Ryan, because the real Ryan had never thrown rocks at Naim before and so it seems more like an attempt at self-defence to entity Naim.

It’s so heart wrenching when you realise that omg this is the POINT. This is the point of the movie that they are so blinded by their fear that they attempt to hurt the ones they love most— they FEAR the ones they love most, unable to disconnect the fear of the being from the feelings towards the beings.

That small point of confusion as well— when they both pause to think wait- it might actually be you- until Ryan throws the rock, because HE is the one who was always the bravest and the one that risked it all to show his goal: kissing Naim, putting his hand on his back, touching him on the bus, etc. while in this moment this manifests itself into deciding against this bravery and going all out with fear— hence throwing the rock before risking Naim being the entity despite doubts he may have had.

But high o’er all the early floral train,

Where softness all the arching sky resumes,

The dogwood dancing to the winds’ refrain,
