Zntyohiro - What We Do Determine, Oft We Break

”You may get mad if I say this, but the way you and Yoshino act is very strange. Both of you were suddenly dragged into the confusion, having to deal with magic and trees. You both lost your families, friends, and homes...But it's like neither of you cares about that all. It's as though you had both already lost something even more precious, before any of this happened, and you were numb.”

- Episode 18

Changed the color of scene little more dramatically .

Re-post here: 

I don’t know why I just love this scene. Getting rain on and wet, under dark stormy sky in deep of winter, the silent moment between the boys. Why is there’s so much tension going on here?! is because they failed to protected little boys just like they failed warn the old couple? at least most of it is on Yoshino.. Is it because the kids remind of them when they’re little except the holding part? Yoshino taking actions without Mahiro’s help? Or is that they don’t want to be alone to one another, because the more less human civilization around them the more their relationship will get more explicit and strange as their journey goes on. Make you question their relationship, they’re not really friends nor close to one other, it’s moreambiguously you can say. The whole scene speaks out their relationship however it does not tells us what’s going on here, only their facial expression, the weather around them, the sound of rain and thunder, the animated scene seem more in detail and intense. It’s intriguing moments next ‘Gun scene on the bus’ and it’s kills me lot to figure out what going here? Hmmm sound like a foreshadowing of their relationship - it did got little dark and twisting later on or maybe just symbolize theme to their relationship, which what I usually see between them, included this official art which much more dramatic >.>

It’s probably me who interpreting and speculating their relationship to much, but there’s something going on between them. HAck this scene, dramatic official art and the opening theme where the teenage boys are in a apocalyptic city Which was not shown in anime beside that one scene. It tells me there’s more to their back story and they relationship looks more tensity and complex. The manga goes in depth sometime when art and scene is more questionable too just like scene above

Their facial expression really says a lot even when they’re not facing each other. And yet it’s so similar to raining scene.
