SO FUCKING CRAZY about that little "wait- don't go anywhere" bit during the clock scene like. he holds his finger up and rocky immediately copies it, reaching right to the xenonite to get as close as possible. no fear. no hesitation. ☝️<- this means something and I will engage and attempt to understand with an open mind and an open heart. and grace smiles, easy as breathing, and taps his finger back. almost without thinking. he just boop. right back atcha. stay right there. we're doing this. I'm gonna figure this out for you. we're both leaning in no matter how terrifying and unimaginable it is. they have both been through such intense grief and fear and desperation and mind-melting isolation and confusion and boop. here we are. and it's so easy.
