Ep4 Minkowski stiffly trying to reassure Eiffel after she’s saved him from drowning in his spacesuit vs Ep26 Minkowski desperately trying to reassure Eiffel when he’s dying of Decima

#The parallels here make me emotional #Both times she tells him to breathe #Both times she says 'easy. easy' #But the tone is so different! #Not just cos in the first one the danger has already passed #In Ep4 Minkowski doesn't want Eiffel to die because he's a crew member and she doesn't want anyone to die on her watch #Whereas in Ep26 Minkowski doesn't want Eiffel to die because she cares about *him specifically* and she has come to rely on him #The difference between 'we've got you' and 'I've got you' feels very significant to me #It's the difference between telling him that he is being taken care of and telling him that she specifically will take care of him #The concern for him becomes so much more personal #Because there's so much more of a bond between them #Just listen to the difference in her tone of voice! #w359 spoilers #Wolf 359 #Wolf 359 spoilers #Renée Minkowski #Doug Eiffel #w359 #the empty man posteth #my audio edits
