Phoenixflare Week || Day 4: Touch-Starved (pt ii) (long distance) Phoenixflare + So We Must Meet Apart

"In this light, two violinists faced each other—a man and a woman. The woman had her back to me. Their bows were like warped mirror images, one stretching out and up as the other pushed down and in, the two lines moving in relation. And in this manner, they made not the same music but an overlapping. I began to wonder in that moment (and I still wonder now) why my lips twitch at each discordant twoness. Is it joy? A grimace? Recognition?"

Fun fact: replaying this game while paying 1000% more attention to Dion Lesage's microexpressions than you did the first time will break your heart.

The first time, I only saw the bravado/big shiny dragoon/heroic prince in this cutscene at Belenus Tor. Missed the moment where he braces himself against pain:

Missed the exhaustion in his eyes, the dismay when he realises they're not getting reinforcements, before he puts on his brave face again:

Know what else I missed? When Sylvestre speaks to the Council a while later, he tells his aide to send word to Dion. To tell him to heal his wounds because Sylvestre needs Bahamut to invade the Crystalline Dominion.

This man is Absolutely Going Through It even before the five year timeskip. Somebody give him a goddamn hug.

This happened to him… Twice. Once in the prince outfit, then as black mask.

Haru’s and Makoto’s showtime is by far my favorite one. Never skipped it during my playthrough.
