The LINE conversation between Minato and Yori after theiir fight in the class when Minato was waiting for Yori in the train (From the Monster scriptbook):- Minato: Please come Yori: I don't think I should go Minato: Why? Are you still mad at me?

Yori: No, I'm not mad. I'm just afraid if I go I will want to touch you again.

Minato: It's okay to touch me.

Yori: [silence]

Minato: I went to sleep at 2 AM last night. It's a waste to sleep.

Yori: Okay, wait for me. I'll come. (credit to u/jellyfishcat2403 on reddit)

The director of Monster(2023) has often times emphasized on the symbolism of water and fire with Yori and Minato. While Yori is leaning towards water , Minato is leaning towards fire. He also mentioned how a lot of times Yori's father punished him by using water as a weapon which resulted in Yori's fascination with fire. Yori's fear of water due to his abusive dad lead to him finding comfort in fire. He burned the hostess bar his father was in and also burned the dead cat which Minato throws water over later on. Minato is the one who saved him when he drowns (or was probably put there by his dad). Minato is also the only person Yori could find comfort in even though he is significant of something Yori fears. The symbolism gets even more clear when we notice the clothes they wear. Yori is usually wearing bright coloured clothes while Minato is wearing muted coloured clothes (Reference and info from this tweet. Thanks to @_4_cson for sharing this.)

Yori's shoes break my heart. He wears shoes that are old and too small for him, that is a sing and a cry for help that the teacher and society should have noticed and act upon it. But no one did anything apart from his friend.

There's just something about this scene

He won't let Minato think he doesn't love him, not even for a moment

"The location of the abandoned train was purposely chosen with a waterway next to it, where sound of water could be heard. The place was shown to yuji sakamoto & the script was also revised saying 'when the abandoned train overturns, you can crawl down this waterway & survive' the boys crawled like babies through it. The waterway is kind of a mountain road/pass. it's to be reborn after passing through the waterway/canal. "

-Director Koreeda Hirokazu
