the explicit intimacy between our two mc’s being hidden from our eyes and only showing the aftermath of the chase can represent their affection towards each other now. they are nothing but means to an end, a chase for a high. their connection with sex is ugly, distant, and cruel. it’s not even an act of genuine sexual gratification but them trying to feel alive and human, and seeking pleasure from the power taken or given. sex is far beyond the orgasm for them, it’s something that offers a social and mental benefit. they’ve lost themselves and haven’t been able to recover
and then the parallels of their self-mutilation and how they cope with life… the dreariness of it all as we see the lack of human connection despite the near-death fist fights, the sex, the meetings, and their day to day interactions. it’s all so dull and sad, their desperation drove them to a bloody life still colored in grey
