#kyo and tohru
Love and acceptance. That’s what everyone needs, I think… ♥️
the realization that always knocks the air directly out of my chest is that kyo has always known who tohru is. i think about how much time he spent living under the same roof and falling in love with her knowing that he watched the most traumatic event of her life and thinking he doesn’t deserve her love, platonic or romantic or otherwise. i’m shattered about it all over again.
There’s so many important, beautiful things that happen in this episode
The reveal that Kyo knew Kyoko and Tohru
The physical representation of the bond that the zodiac has, and how they actually cannot disobey Akito, even though they want to
The realization that the Cat is actually, for real, literally locked in a room after high school, forever, and the whole reason for Kyo and Yuki’s fights is not because they hate each other, but because it’s a desperate attempt on Kyo’s part to not be confined, and their entire rivalry is constructed by Akito
Of course, Kyo verbalizing his love for Tohru. But more than that. Kyo saying that he loves her so much that he’ll never tell her, because he doesn’t want to hurt her, or drag her into any more problems. The final shift into Soft Kyo™. All his inhibitions around her are now gone, because he knows he has limited time, and he doesn’t have anything to be afraid of anymore
In conclusion, I will be off crying, goodbye
