the answer is yes: i am still studying watching claude’s s-support in JP, and i am absurdly obsessed with this bit from it, especially considering that in the original JP script, he doesn’t actually explicitly tell byleth “i love you”:
Claude: But before long, I realized what I really wanted was to see that new world… with you by my side. I still feel that way, you know. I always will. That’s why I have to leave. But nothing will stop me from coming back. There’s no way I’m gonna let you go. You know that, don’t you?”
“You know that, don’t you?”
so byleth already knows? i mean, if you watch, she just smiles calmly and nods at him after he says this.
and apparently, claude already knows that byleth knows too?
also what’s up with his proposal?
when claude gave byleth the ring-
Claude: I have something else to ask. Please… I hope you’ll accept this.
-he just gives her the ring.
he says he has something else to ask, but he doesn’t actually directly ask anything. he just gives her the ring and says, “please… i hope you’ll accept this.” just like that.
AND LIKE, I DON’T KNOW, BUT USUALLY, IN MOST OF THE S-SUPPORTS I’VE SEEN, THE SCREEN TENDS TO FOCUS ON BYLETH’S SHOCKED FACE AFTER [PERSON] GIVES THEM A RING AND/OR PROFESSES THEIR LOVE FOR BYLETH.
BUT IN CLAUDE’S S-SUPPORT…
BYLETH DOESN’T EVEN FLINCH. USUALLY WE SEE HER PHYSICALLY BEING TAKEN ABACK TO A DEGREE BY PROFESSIONS OF LOVE AND MARRIAGE, BUT LIKE, GOD. HERE IT’S ALMOST LIKE SHE SAW THIS COMING, AS IF SHE’S EXPECTING THIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.
THE LACK OF EXPLICIT “I LOVE YOU” IN THE ORIGINAL JP SCRIPT ONLY FEELS EVEN MORE TELLING, CONSIDERING THAT HE’S LEAVING AND NEITHER OF THEM ACTUALLY KNOWS WHEN HE’LL BE BACK.
LIKE, I’M NOT SAYING THEY’VE ALREADY PROFESSED THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AT SOME POINT OFF SCREEN BEFORE THIS THATS WHY THEY BOTH SEEM SO CONFIDENT THAT THE OTHER COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE HELL THEY’RE GOING ON ABOUT, BUT GOD.
THEY TOTALLY HAVE, HAVEN’T THEY?
