something about these panels. about hikaru taking his last breath alone, with only darkness keeping him company (and hikaru in a way). about the close up to his right eye when he thinks about yoshiki. and then something about hikaru being surrounded by all the artificial, blinding light like he is being examined. he doesn’t get the luxury of suffering alone anymore. the way the close up is to his left eye, the one his true form always pools from, when he thinks about him.
something about how the both of them think about yoshiki in their darkest moments.
and something about these two panels, and how different they are. how hikaru’s is more chaotic. but also how yoshiki is more expressive in it. how he is facing him. because in a way, while hikaru had to learn how to look at yoshiki from a distance, hikaru has always been looking right at him. and how that, and everything that hikaru is, helps yoshiki crawl out of his shell. to be himself more.
