Sulvain makes him soft, he just couldn’t hold it back 🥺

I was at the music school, and I couldn’t sing reach a note because I was eagerly awaiting to reach home and see the new page 😂💖 KaiJU! How beautiful🥺, even if my favorite bot is crying, I see that he still has a tender heart and did it all because he was afraid of hurting Sulvain
Mangsney
Oh no, watch out, the tears are coming... 😭
KaiJu
Thank you so much Alys! So glad to see your comment just to know you're doing alright, hope you've been doing well! 💖
Alys
I’ve been so behind on commenting (life is busy!!) but I am SO loving this scene, and seeing Raz’s composure start to crack—and in a way that just affirms how lonely he’s been, how much time he’s spent replaying this moment in his life—it’s so compelling, so beautiful. You’re doing a gorgeous job with this!
Roedii
NEVEEEERRRR! Not until these two share a little hug and a kiss 😭😭😭

NOOOO STOPPP -CRIES-

He probably cried so much at the beginning of all that, that he ran out of tears for a few hundred years.
Juliette Wade
I'm also noticing how in the Paris frames, Raziol holds his clawed fingers like he doesn't know what to do with them, and of course he doesn't, and also WAAAAH.
Juliette Wade
Saltandcookies, yes, totally. Sas, you are also right. Since we heard Raziol say aloud that Sulvain's blood was gold, we know he noticed it. But we've also now heard in some detail how disoriented he felt that day. So he's probably holding onto conflicting scientific data (Sulvain's blood is gold/I'm possibly seeing things already, how many are real?) and needs some help to disambiguate.
OdacioChoco
Noooo why are you drawing him so hurt??? I’m on the floor sobbing! 😭😭
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
That could be too much magic at once for someone who never before saw magic and was on the edge of sanity after the change at once 😭 I even thought that he could explain that to himselve that maybe he saw it as gold on the blind hunger. Idk if that would make much sense to him tho
Emily Rochester
NOOOO MY BABY

I think part of it, too, is that Raziol is a scientist. While he’s incredibly open-minded, he usually only believes things he can explain with logic or prove—and believing you saw your boyfriend’s eyes glowing when you have NO prior knowledge that magic exists (remember, he thought what his mom did might have been a dream) would probably seem more like a sleep-deprived hallucination than a genuine fact. 😅 As for the gold blood… I mean, he *did* see the sky bleeding into the trees in the forest earlier that day. 👀

Ohmygod you are so right 😭 the possiblity of "I won't budge him with questions because he may get mad at me" is making me so saaaad noooo Sulvain would neverrrr
Juliette Wade
He's done similar things before. He's been very good at just letting things that make him curious *about Sulvain specifically* slide and go unanswered. I think watching Sulvain break his charcoal pencil when he asked about his voice hit Raziol pretty hard. He may well have a huge list of pending questions stored up in his head, though...
Brooke
Okay, Sulvain. You’re turn. 💞
Roedii
See, I get that Sul had not really explained the... "logistics" of his existence so to speak, because I bet he's had to be very careful for who knows how long. But it might have prevented some anxiety on both ends here 🥺 Sul, you really do need to communicate and explain to your boyfriend, OK? Also, this is the first time in a long time we see Raz tear up 😭 It wasn't your fault sweetie, not even Sul was prepared for what you two would face
S Mcnamara
I’ve often wondered if the moment where we see Raziol visit the detectives if he sees Sulvain there in his deep sleep and thinks he’s gone forever
homebody_adventurer
Oh Raz baby no, it’s not your fault 🥺🥺🥺
Neko-san
Oh Raziol! 🥺😭 That must have been so painful!
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
Could he convince himself that the gold blood was part of his imagination?
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
Oh baby 😭 please hug, it doesn't have to be romantic hug isn't it. Crying is okay baby 😭😭
Juliette Wade
And I'm just so glad to see that Sulvain didn't let go! Mutual touch - YES! The bridges are being woven!
Sang Steppenwolf
The pain in his eyes... the tears... I just wanna hold him and tell him it'll be okay 💔
Alyssa
Omgggg my soul hurts 😭 I feel so bad for them, that was a situation that was out of either of their control. I feel so bad that Raz feels like he’s even a little at fault. As if he asked for any of it! 😞 I’m curious about his wording about trusting himself not to hurt Sulvain. I wonder if that trust is part of the way he’s learned to control his powers now. I’m curious to learn more about those mechanics. Seeing that old page still hurts, even when I can just come back here and see them together again! ❤️🩹
Juliette Wade
It really does. I can't help thinking if he *had* stuck around it would have been worse in some ways, because he would have watched Sulvain "die." And he still wouldn't have known there was any chance of him coming back.
Juliette Wade
I am in pieces. Seriously.
Juliette Wade
And that view of Raz looking down on the arrival of Viverette, Cyrille, and Sesam! Oh, KaiJu, you are amazing.
Juliette Wade
Oh Raz. I just want to hold him. And I know how hard that kind of disbelief is to dispel, because I've had it with long-distance relationships. How much worse would it be after centuries?!
Jay Parker
UGH MY HEART! 😭
saltandcookies
I hadn’t realized Raziol kept an eye on him until the help he mentioned arrived. That is so sweet, but also heartbreaking. 😭
Laura
"I didn't realize it would be the last time I saw you" hits so hard :'(

Looking back at the “last time” they saw each other just stabbed my heart, gah! I’m so happy for them but I can’t imagine the conflict inside themselves!!
