Ebbe la delicatezza di non chiedermi altro. [...] non volle rischiare di spingermi a ulteriori confessioni. Quando uno comincia, potrebbe non sapersi fermare, e ci sono scoperte così irreparabili che annullano la fiducia e distruggono ogni speranza, e lei, a quei tempi, doveva aver bisogno di entrambe. Esattamente come me, solo che io le avevo esaurite.

LAST TWILIGHT – T-SHIRTS, SHAKESPEARE AND ANGELS IN DISGUISE
So this reblog by @callipigio (linked here) about a certain English bookshop on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris reminded me about a t‑shirt Day was wearing (from Thai clothing shop Frank! Garçon) in Last Twilight Ep.5:
Is that why you posted it, @callipigio? Because if it was random it's an amazing coincidence! 🤩 I can tell from your posts that you're as enamored with Last Twilight as I am, and this is like the universe telling us it agrees with our appreciation for the series. 💖
Anyway the photo that @callipigio posted (by photographer Dieter Krehbiel) is an interior shot of the legendary Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company. In the land of Molière the shop stands out because it's focused on English language works. Decades after its inception, according to Wikipedia: "...it continues to serve as a purveyor of new and second-hand books, as an antiquarian bookseller, and as a free reading library open to the public."
Here's the photo:

The shop's motto, "Be Not Inhospitable to Strangers Lest They Be Angels in Disguise", is immortalized on the wall above the entrance to the reading library of this iconic Parisian institution.
Remembering how Day identifies with French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (who is sort of an itinerant interplanetary angel), and how Mhok has become like a guardian angel to Day as he navigates the world sightless, the bookstore's motto is also perhaps a reminder to our boys about how their initial hostilities were more than misplaced, because each has swooped into the other's life to fill a void with his own special gift.
Earthbound angels indeed... 💖
Paging @dribs-and-drabbles because it's another Thai BL t-shirt and you're the t‑shirt maestro and record-keeper extraordinaire for this! 🤩

C’è un lungo silenzio. Ma i silenzi non sono più quelli di prima. Prima, ciò che le parole evitavano o si dimenticavano di dire lo dicevano i silenzi con la sfacciataggine dei bambini o dei pappagalli, ma ora non più, ora i silenzi sono privi di vita e non hanno nulla da aggiungere a quanto è stato detto. Sono così ottusi e spessi, i silenzi, che nemmeno i luoghi comuni, le frasi fatte, riescono ad attraversarli.
