Almost brought to tears of the thought of Gyro and Johnny just sensing they were nearing the end so they decided to share secrets with each other… it’s so boyishly endearing
@pale_ville on a serious note though, i think gyro is saying that he’s acting on a predestined path (paved by justice) rather than sentimentality or impulsivity. this is what he’s “supposed” to do, in his heart and mind.
@pale_ville the “with all due respect” part is killing me a little too. your spiritual old man is telling you you’re gonna ruin the family and tradition and that’s what you say 😭
do you think johnny collected newspaper clippings of the race after SBR and would look at the blurred picture of gyro on his horse galloping towards the finish line, with a smile, because he doesn’t have any other way to remember his face
