[ I’m not sure if this was meant to be anything, but I enjoyed this parallel and would at least like to put it out there for others to make their own interpretations of it. On the left, we’ve got Shoushitsu. It’s the scene when Yamato and Taichi first find Sora and attempt to make her feel better. Yamato does a weird flick of his wrist and fiddles with his fingers before seemingly cutting off the motion early. On the right, we’ve got Kyousei- the scene with Jou telling his scary story. Yamato’s playing air-bass and we learn it’s a nervous tick he uses to distract himself, calm himself down, something or other. I always wondered what the purpose of focusing on Yamato’s hand in Loss was, and I’m wondering if it was meant to be the same tick. If true, Yamato must have been awful nervous in that moment. To me, it seems like he instinctively went to fiddle with his fingers, but held it together enough to stop himself (before attempting to throw the responsibility over to Taichi, lol). I won’t call it a Taiorato moment, as much as I’m always looking for Taiorato fanfiction fodder, but make of it what you will. Either way, I’m loving the small details we’re learning about all our favorite kids <3 ]
