baby & seahorse

i really loved the parallel between baby and the seahorse. both of them were trapped in their environments—baby stuck in the junior position at his job and the seahorse trapped in that little glass cage. johnson gave them both life while they were confined, but in the end, neither could truly be free until they left. when baby kissed the seahorse tattoo on johnson’s back, it felt like the author’s way of directly acknowledging that parallel—showing how their stories mirrored each other perfectly. so cute & so well done. i wonder if anyone else noticed this
