🗣️ IT’S THEM 🗣️ This scene is so soft & vulnerable. The way Eiji ASKS if it’s okay for him to stay by his side—always giving Ash a choice. And Ash’s so moved by his words because no one has ever had such unwavering support and unconditional love towards him 💕
thinking about Eiji never knowing how hard Shorter fought for him. he was unconscious & therefore had no idea how close he was being held, how guilty Shorter felt, or just how he far would have gone to protect him
happy unofficial birthday, eiji—!! - (some ppl celebrate eiji's birthday on the 3rd of may, because that is also the birthday of the person his character design was inspired by, hironobu nomura. so happy birthday to hironobu nomura as well. 🎉🎉)
