Rafael Barba appreciation ➩ 228/∞ | ep: Conversion
Neden bana iyi gelen kimse yok
Tu: Tu mi vuoi bene?
Io: Io ti amo
Parole così semplici ma chi avrebbe mai pensato che sarei stata io ad avere il coraggio di scriverle? Ecco, dentro quelle due parole c'erano racchiuse tutte le emozioni che provavo per te da un bel po', tutto ciò che traspariva dalle nostre conversazioni. Il nostro amore.
are those lines in the top panel because Feilong was silent before hanging up, or is it just not important/hidden from the reader (and Akihito too?) not for the first time, Feilong is impressed with Asami's determination to get Akihito back. he's understandably pissed off about this whole betrayal thing that's still going on, and since Akihito has been his outlet for some time already maybe it's not that much of a logic leap for him that he turns to Akihito for his emotional needs (security, trust) and dear Akihito's just silently freaking out at finally Asami made contact, is indeed trying to get him back, and the hope that he might go home
it's in the form of a question, but Feilong isn't really asking. to make Akihito stay with him, all he has to do is refuse to deal with Asami... which is exactly what he's doing. and for real Feilong you're not supposed to admit that you have a weakenss what kind of leader are you all Akihito's questions basically amount to "are you an idiot Feilong" and he's not wrong. the illusion of choice is powerful until it is recognized as an illusion. except it doesn't even make it that far, cause honestly, Akihito's ready to say no right that second and surely Feilong won't let him go. the only real difference seems to be that there wouldn't be the 'being sold off and whored out' threat hanging over Akihito's head. Akihito's reaction is basically the 'don't suddenly act like we're friends' response whether intentional or not, he reveals to Akihito that Asami is doing whatever he can to get Akihito back. Akihito's not an idiot, he's been with Feilong for a while, so he knows (or at the very least strongly suspects) that with the right push Feilong will indeed "bow to that." additionally, for Akihito knows, this could be his last chance to convince Feilong otherwise
