i couldn’t screenshot it in time but the corner of the phone glitched after passing 50% 👀
i mentioned this way back, but light and night writers are good at writing kids and you can see this here too with how osborn’s atmosphere is so different as a kid
why did osborn suddenly attack pu ning like that 😂 at first i was surprised he actually wanted to show off your photos together, but he was just kidding
> Osborn wrapped an arm around me with a smile and kissed me on the cheek.
O: Don't worry, I'm just kidding. I'm the only one who can see such a cute Lil Xiao Five.
O: I can't bear to share it with others.
O: Especially Pu Ning, I’m guessing he wouldn’t be able to stand it and would yell, “Xiao-ge is showing off his love with sister-in-law again!”
> Thinking of that scene, my face unconsciously burned.
MC: Nope, nope, fortunately they can’t see it.
> I thought about that sight and inexplicably found it a little funny.
MC: Never mind, only we can see them. If others were to see them, they would more or less feel that we're a bit narcissistic.
O: Really? I kind of want to show others too.
MC: If the photos in your current phone were also displayed in this form, it'd definitely be many times more spectacular, right?
O: It'd be pretty spectacular, and the most photos in my phone right now is our photos together.
O: One glance over and it'd all probably be our faces.
MC: There’s no more, why didn’t you take more photos back then?
> Osborn squeezed the tip of my nose.
O: The phone storage back then can’t be compared to that of today. A couple photos and you’d have no storage.
每天都活的很认真 is the only phrase running through my mind and i’m sighing emotionally at how this is one of osborn’s greatest strengths 🥺
i really like this scene because it’s so normal. people come and go out of your life at different periods without needing to have changed your life majorly for the better or worse
> I imagined the small boy mending his pants, just like how he filled the gaps of his life.
there was no need for this painful monologue
is no one going to point out that osborn did the patch upside down? 😂
all these things people do when they’re tight on money though… 😔
> My thoughts seemed to return to that late night where I sat on the wall with him and ate fried noodles in the evening breeze.
😭 EXCUSE ME LIGHT AND NIGHT WRITERS? THE CALLBACK TO S2CH10
O: If there's an opportunity, I can go and try. I don't know if Uncle Li still recognizes me or not.
MC: Bring me along! I also want to try the fried noodles you specially advertised!
O: Sure, at that time I'll tell Uncle Li, this is my girlfriend, you gotta cook it tastier.
O: I passed by the school once and didn’t expect Uncle Li was still running his stall.
MC: Oh? Did you buy one to support his business?
O: I had other business that time, so I just glanced at it from afar.
are we supposed to take from this that osborn went from fried rice in childhood to fried noodles in junior high school and then back to fried rice in adulthood 😆
evan learning more and more on how to act childish and cute and ask for his wife's comfort 🥺
evan has thrown down the gauntlet, we have to see him at the 50th anniversary so that means 45 more years to go 🤣
evan lying through his teeth without blinking an eye 😆 when he says you hurt him with your bite you can hear a clear smile in his voice, not to mention his voice maintains such a gentle tone throughout the whole exchange
i thought we would find out what that necklace is but no evan continues to tease 😔
E: You like seeing me like this? I also like feeling this you.
E: This symbol represents… the thing that leads my old self to destruction will bestow the meaning of existence to the new me.
E: Rumour has it that vampires will wrap their lover in their cloak and whisk them away. I wonder if this lady in front of me is willing to come with me?
E: The matching ring on your hand symbolizes the same authority as the one on my hand.
bat bad, bear good 🥰 the line about the glass cover on the datura makes me think of the flipping pages section and seems to confirm my reading that it's a metaphor for evan's relationship with you
the only word that pops into my head when i look at this is luxury for some reason 😆 everything is just gorgeous, the decorations, the movements, evan’s voice, the bgm
[PART 4 — Rebirth]
evan nearly being a little shit again 🤣 but all these idioms about being reborn and turning over a new leaf makes me wonder if this is officially starting a new arc for evan
transposed onto himself and your relationship together, maybe it's a lesson about accepting everything in the world as it is with all its uncontrollable variables, possibilities, and inherent qualities
i’ll admit that sometimes evan’s writers are too advanced for me 😅 i can feel something being told here but it’s difficult to put into words. it’s like evan realizes that if he controls everything about a life (or possibility) then it’s no different from an illusion he creates
[PART 3 — Merging: Flipping Pages]
😮 marian mention from evan’s s2ch6 card! lu ting’s wife haha
evan used to cultivate various mutations of datura as different “possibilities”
9:10 dying once tonight, huh 😏 le petite mort staring at us right in the face HAHA
7:30 i don't know how to explain it but this entire conversation about death and being... skeletons? ghosts? with evan is very tender 🥺 like this understanding that you'll still be together in death and he'll either be conscious with you or resting in eternity with you depending on your choice
4:40 the instant evan said he can be your eyes i knew he was going to turn on full seduction mode again 😳 never give a wordsmith free rein to spin his words
