this scene absolutely broke my heart. knives truly wanted to protect his little brother and vash just wanted to live in peace with his big brother. they’re literally BEGGING each other for this not to happen. now, they’ll never have quiet moments, stargazing together ever again.
in honor of otani’s birthday, i just wanna say that risa and otani’s first kiss is one of my fave shoujo kisses— the pure realism in them both being an awkward mess, and how it’s not overly romanticized. it’s endearingly realistic 💕💕
