I love them
Finished all the Alien Stage standees! You can preorder them in my Ko-fi :)
okay. LUKA WEARING BLACK FOR THE FIRST TIME.
my general idea is that in alien stage, someone's always dressed for a funeral, and someone else for a wedding. mizi was dressed for a funeral in round 1, because deep down, she knew she was going to lose sua. sua was dressed for a wedding, because she knew mizi would live. same thing for till in black in cure (thinking mizi's dead), and ivan in white (knowing with his sacrifice, till could live).
throughout the entire series, luka has worn white. in round 3, in all the anakt garden flashbacks, because he always knew that hyuna was still alive. but hyuna died in front of him. for him. and now he's dressed in black. a heart crystal crushed across hyuna's chest, while luka clutches his intact one in his other hand. alive. dressed for a funeral.
One down two more to go!
guys I've cracked the code
Ivan: "I can't live without you, but you can live without me."
Hyuna: "I can live without you, but you can't live without me."
Sua: "Neither of us could live without each other, but it was better for both of us that it was me."
this frame. this scene.
luka runs to embrace hyuna, the same embrace he gave as a child.
but he didn't receive the same embrace back. at least, not exact.
the one that hyuna gave was not an embrace, but an act of protection. she did not reach out to luka to hold him 'lovingly' but to protect him from the bullet that was about to go his way.
you can see in her eyes how worried she was for luka, and how focused she is in protecting him, in seeing him safe.
only then when she was reassured that he was safe was when she gave an embrace. a hold that never let's go, a hold of forgiveness, a hold of love; an embrace.
because to hyuna, her priority at that moment was to protect luka. unlike luka, who didn't even mind the gun in his head, whose gaze was only focused on hyuna, only focused on the love he feels for her that it transcends death.
meanwhile hyuna focuses on the death that luka is about to receive, an act of protection that is an act of love as well. point is, they both love eachother, but they're looking at different ways, luka at hyuna and hyuna at the gun. but despite this, they love eachother, they care for eachother. a love that transcends the thought of death and a love that's willing to die in order for the other to live.
