something i think about a lot is that will had a gun in mizumono. he scoped that entire house with the gun out and his finger on the trigger. but as soon as he saw abigail, any resolve he had, any doubt he had about what he wanted to do once he got there, completely dissolved. he sees abigail, alive, whole, alive, but the first thing he asks is “where’s hannibal?”
and then hannibal appears, covered in blood and holding a knife, but also completely and utterly devastated. he looks wrecked and old and betrayed, and tells will “we couldn’t leave without you”
it’s at this point when he hears those exact words that will realizes the betrayal he’s committed. the absolute extent in which he has ruined everything bc he warred with his heart and with his head for too long and now he’s missed his chance. at what he still doesn’t know but will realizes he’s missed it and nothing can change it- the teacup cannot come back together
so will lets hannibal gut him despite the gun he had in his hands. he lets hannibal get close enough to cradle his face and does nothing more than grasp hannibal’s shoulder for support as he is eviscerated with a knife
to some extent, this is how will begs for forgiveness from hannibal and hannibal understands and does forgive will, but not before cutting the last tangible string that tied them together (abigail). and though will tried to save her, he already knew he wouldn’t be able to and kept his eyes on hannibal, still asking for forgiveness
all the while, will’s gun is laying on the floor no further from will than abigail was
MC, clearly into Wayne: I’m not gonna follow some creepy miner dude alone through a weird door!
Sam Wayne: *Crushes a ditchling*
MC, blushing: Okay you’ve convinced me
my 2022 highlight was when a guy was driving me home after a date and his phone was playing songs on youtube thru the aux on autoplay BUT he was also using it as a satnav so we had to just cope with whatever song came on. anyway we listened to the isolated vocals for "eye of the tiger" in silence because neither of us acknowledged it and it got to a certain point where it would be even weirder if one of us did say something
/edit: I realise a text post doesn't even do it justice, it went exactly like this
