imo it's beautiful that there's a side of phaidei that we'll never fully know, because there will always be moments that only they can witness with each other
no matter how much Cyrene does her best to narrate things for us, and no matter how much we witness as observers—
phainon refusing to say goodbye to mydei feels like a response to the words mydei said to him before he left okhema. its like he returns the gesture to him and it feels so romantic "this will not be the last time we see eachother - i refuse to say goodbye to you"
@Starval340 there is no mistake, the english translation is appropriate for the chinese phrase that was used. the japanese translation used the word "promise" but that really doesn't change anything because: https://t.co/NlTFtnNoaA
@Adiisverysilly @kyokiiro "it's a date" doesn't always have a romantic meaning, it's an english idiom, a phrase said when you arrange a meeting with someone
still, he could've just said "goodbye" to mydei like to everyone else but instead, phainon imagined them making the promise to meet, that's yearning
