Damn... The INTIMACY! (When Two Friends Just Casually Chatting But You Can Feel SOMETHING)

I like that while they all were trying to sleep crying their eyes out and the other kids were holding hands... Ashlyn was lying alone. And Aiden’s like, "I’m here, you don’t have to go through this alone," and she doesn’t turn to him completely, she doesn’t take him by the hand either, but she press her feet against his leg for a piece of comfort.

And another detail that I really like is that Ashlyn keeps her palm where Aiden’s neck was pierced with a sharp piece. Like the mix of "This must be hurt like hell" and "I’m So Sorry" and it also looks like she’s subconsciously trying to stop the bleeding and apply pressure on the cut, even though they’re in the "another dimension"...

I love their interaction.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS EPISODE

Soooo red x blue dynamic where's

Red - lively, free-spirit and fun-loving, adventurous, persistent, talented. Very loving towards "parent figure (or friend)". Will do anything for the sake of loved ones. Personality underwent a change because of the higher power. "The chosen one". Sarcasm and playfulness with Blue tho there were prejudices so the relationship did not go well at first. In the process of interaction, revises another view of the world and breaks old beliefs.

Fell first.

Blue - independent, kind, determined, spirited and brave. Loves fiercely but can come off teasing at times. Go to great lengths to protect when soneone being threatened. When is captured - hostile and aggressive. But later with the closest ones hostility melts away into sarcasm and playfulness. Teaching Red.

Fell harder.

she dresses up for him and thinks about him and he goes to the party simply because she will be there and he wants to see her

So... I've realized I'm not reading with my eyes. Or my memory is s/#t. While reading the last chapter, I realized I didn't understand (nor remember) two things:

1. Those who become part of the troupe stop aging after a certain age, no? I just remembered that Sahed's hair is growing... I mean, hair growth isn't a sign of aging... but actually it's just a sign of changes in the body (? I'm stupid sorry), and I don't recall anyone ever emphasizing such things (like someone shaving or getting a haircut). I mean, I don't get it... their body functions are maintained and exist usually until they decide to "leave"? Visually, no one changes... and either Tonny wears the same hairstyle his whole long life, or they stop changing altogether (frozen in time). Or do they all change, just that no emphasis was placed on it, and the moment with Sahed was more for (oh, she noticed such a minor detail!)?

And question 2: Does Sahed know that Julia doesn't have much time left if Tonny doesn't come up with something? I distinctly remember that Kamille and Tonny know about this. But Sahed? It's just that if he knows, he's too calm. And if he doesn't... well, then it's understandable.
