Another story ended
Ended with a full stop.
A conclusion,
An answers to all the why's.
My soul learned the bitter lesson
Why it was not for me
Why it didn't meant
Why for all the cries
And my heart understood
Why to be quiet ...

A Warm Embrace in the Cold Night
Different feelings swirl within,
Skin to skin, a gentle kin,
Innocent eyes, bright and bold,
Busy cities, stories untold,
And as the night turns cold,
A warm embrace to hold.
It begins by describing different feelings swirling within, as if there are many emotions at play. Then, the focus shifts to a tender moment of skin-to-skin contact, suggesting a close and intimate connection between two people. The innocence of someone's eyes is then described as bright and bold, perhaps contrasting with the hustle and bustle of busy cities that are home to untold stories. Finally, the poem ends by mentioning the night turning cold, but with the promise of a warm embrace to hold, a comforting and intimate moment to counterbalance the coldness.

I've been thinking a lot about Porsche post season 1, and it's honestly taken me a really long time to come to terms with what I think the future holds for him (and a potential season 2, my version of it anyway), but I think i've finally figured out that niggling feeling at the back of my mind telling me that this is the calm before the storm.
This isn't Porsche's happy ending. How could it be? The show went to great lengths to demonstrate to us and remind us time and time again that Porsche hates loan sharks and predators, and that's exactly what he's become. And it is what he's become. The show may never give it to us in explicit detail, but we're made aware that the role of the second family is very different to the first family. Their role is the dark, bloody, messy bullshit that the first family can't afford to sully their hands with. It's the racketeering, extortion, drugs, torture, gang wars, murder and violence that is typical of the real mafia world. Porsche, an orphan who spent his entire life under the yoke of loan sharks, is now responsible for operating a bloody and violent criminal empire. And that's supposed to be his happily ever after?
In reality, I don't think Porsche would ever have accepted the role and the ring if Kinn hadn't been the one offering them to him, and even then I don't think Porsche would have accepted the role unless he knew that if he didn't, he would lose Kinn. Because, as much as Kinn loves Porsche, as much as he wants him and would never hurt him willingly again, as much as he would never choose to leave him, Kinn was raised an heir. Kinn was shaped and molded to take up the mantle of his fathers legacy. Kinn bears the full weight of the responsibility for his family on his shoulders, and he has for the majority of his life, a life that has never completely been his own. Kinn cannot walk away from it, he would never be able to live with himself, he wouldn't be himself, and I think Porsche knows that. Kinn may be soft and loving and affectionate in private, but in public, Kinn is cold, calculated and ambitious-- but there can't be one without the other. Both are what makes Kinn who he is.
So Porsche accepts the ring and the role as head of the minor family because he knows that if he doesn't, he's forcing Kinn to choose between his family and Porsche, between his dark side and his lighter side, and I think Porsche, rightfully, is terrified that he doesn't know what Kinn would ultimately choose.
So the choice ends up being Porsche's, and he chooses Kinn. We know this, because he explicitly rejects the idea of belonging to the second family, emphasizing that it's Kinn's side he's on, demonstrating that his position is entirely contingent on Kinn. He makes the sacrifice of becoming everything he once hated, just so Kinn doesn't have to make an impossible choice.
But how long can that last?
How long will Porsche be able to cheat and lie and extort and murder before it starts to really get to him? How long is he going to be able to act like the tough, unaffected mafia boss when he hates everything he now stands for? How long will it be before he starts to resent Kinn for it? How long before he loses himself?
THAT'S what I think would make for a fascinating season 2: Porsche's descent into darkness, his abandoning of himself, for the sake of the man he loves. Porsche trying to reconcile the things he has to do and the man he has to become, all for the sake of Kinn. And Kinn watching Porsche's joy and brightness and goodness slowly flicker, fade and die, knowing that it's for him. Because of him.
I think there's only one way that it all ends: Kinn has to make a choice. Kinn has to choose. Either he becomes the man his father meant for him to be, following in his footsteps and adopting the mantle of ruthless criminal leader, or he rejects his father, and by proxy his family, and chooses Porsche. The longer Kinn waits to make his decision, the more of Porsche he will lose.

it's because Mori is so good at manipulating the situation so that it's his way or no way. He's so heartless and conniving, but it's all for the greater good. the man is literally the definition of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" he's one of my favorite characters. Hence, I obsessively thought about what if he actually acted on empathy AS WELL as his morals. ADA Boss Mori going through a self reflection/ growing a heart arc during the war and realizing how fucked up both the war and himself are, abandons the whole "Immortal Regiment" plan halfway though after seeing all the psychological damage it put on Yosano and the other soldiers.
And after the war he invites Yosano to stay with him as his ward and work at his underground clinic with the offer of never having to use her ability ever again if she doesn't want to. She takes the offer but only because he began treating her kindly in the later half of their service. So they have a really fractured relationship but Mori puts in a lot of legwork trying to repair it. Eventually they get a father-daughter sort of bond.
At some point they find Oda who wants to leave his assassin past and is being framed for a murder. So there's a mystery to solve! eventually the three of them (plus Elise ig) leave the Yokohama underbelly and start the ADA. To save people and solve crimes. Once Dazai joins the detectiving only intensifies.

"TD-D9 hobbled back into the chamber carrying a tray that held plates covered by domed lids. The droid set the covered plates before the seated figures, then said, 'Are you finished with me, Master Sidious?' 'Most definitely,' Sidious said. Keeping his eyes on Maul, Sidious waved at the droid. TD-D9 lifted off the floor, flew across the chamber, and smashed into the wall." (Windham, 70).
And so Sidious looks directly into Maul's eyes as he kills his proto-mother.
I'd like to talk about the class + gender dynamics of this little scene.
Deenine is obviously a British aristocratic servant, if we use the domed lid as a reference. She has served as Sidious' butler throughout the text, with the expected stoicism of the role having morphed into actual faceless steel.
What is interesting here is that she naturally doubles as another role; a mother. She controls the domestic space of this fortress while Sidious goes abroad. She raises and tyrannises Maul, but they must both bow to the patriarch.
Like the stay-at-home-mum and the Victorian nanny, she is dismissed once the little bird flies the nest. All power she once held evaporates.
