what renders everything about this story so heartachingly beautiful is that everything is so tender, so caring. it shows us the range and the versatility that humans have, the beauty of humanity in a way. it’s first and foremost a story about adults navigating the burden and the joy of truly giving their all to love, or rather experiencing a love that truly encompasses what “to be so taken with someone” and “falling deeply into a bottomless pit” means. so, they’re learning what a relationship means, especially karlyle in his naïvety where his wholeheartedness and inexperience makes him rash but then now when he sees his trust truly treasured and reciprocated he bursts with open adoration. we have to note that a lot of the lines arent dialogue, arent spoken and yet. yet the looks conveyed so beatifically are so lovely, so downtrodden, overloaded with love that what’s said isn’t needed because it’s translated so vividly upon his face. and i just… love how ash‘s kindness gives me hope, that even before he fell for/when he is falling with karlyle he understands that emoting is not easy for people and sharing is not easy for some and that trust is hard to earn. especially with those with scars to show. so his warm coaxing and never rushing karlyle goes to show his patience which is kindness and understanding. everything for the both of them is hard won, yes, but it’s never undeserved. the two of them are shown from the very start to be people so deserving of love that we can’t help but cheer them on, encourage them and love them. also have to say that down to thw artwork, every background, effect, & detail exudes deliberate carefulness to enhance the beauty of the characters.
※ i ran out of gas like halfway through so it’s so much of a ramble with like 3000 unfinished ideas and points that it’s haywire but tldr DTR is a masterpiece and i love it to death
