On death talks

Listen, Ray isn’t diagnosed, but we can assume he has some type of depressive disorder among other things (addiction, ptsd, suicidal tendencies). And as someone who was diagnosed with depressive disorder I can confirm that death talks are kind of usual thing (I’m not telling this is like that for all people with depression but for some of us - absolutely).

A lot of my conversations tags death theme - as a joke, or quick mention, or way deeper than that. I also have thoughts about “what if I die tomorrow” pretty often.

And I’m fine, I go to therapy and take antidepressants, but this is how my brain works sometimes.

This is not foreshadowing. This is realism.

What is way more important for me in this scene is that it’s the very first time Ray talks about his future.

And of course it’s not his own dream, it’s Sand’s. But this is a progress.

Until that every character but Ray had a future dreams or at least plans.

Mew and Cheum with hotel project they’re pretty passionate about.

Top with his parents business he knows he’ll get one day.

Ton with New York maybe and definitely with photography.

Nick with his dream job in animation.

Sand with festivals around the world.

And Ray? Nothing. He stuck in his past and never saw his future.

Until now. This is not perfect, but this is a step forward.

This is what this scene is about for me (among other things about SandRay obv).

As someone who has this experience I am really proud and hopeful for him there.
