Ash and Eiji's first meeting felt like two universes colliding. You can feel the entire room shift even when there's nothing to shake it, and see the colors turn a bit brighter than usual. The moment they locked eyes it feels uncertain yet they were so sure of each other at the same time.
I guess Ash is somewhat guarded since Ibe's there. Knowing how he can't trust adults so much. Yet the next scenes that come after their first eye contact, Ash is interested, testy or maybe teasing even towards Eiji. To say the least they were both interested in each other. Curious.
i just found eiji's photo portfolio and...
all of the shots are so intimate and beautiful but ash looking at eiji so lovingly here- this illustration made me cry
this ash too, its so tender and domestic
eiji cut his hair after garden of light :,)
and his outfit here is one big reference to ash: white shirt and jeans, converse and he's also likely wearing ash's glasses
