i realised this when watching through season two of ii with my mum but forgot to mention it… both times apple got separated from marshmallow (which both marked major changes in their relationship) it was thanks to a falling boulder… so i propose to you this:
apple gets tense around boulders. it’s a very subconscious thing she isn’t quite sure about… she can’t quite put her finger on it, but whenever she sees any large-ish rock, her grip around marshmallow tightens a little from anxiety…
