I wanna bring up this moment from the Elsword anime for a second.
Listen. From a narrative perspective, most of this makes sense. For those who haven't watched the anime, this is about when Lu and Ciel are introduced to the group, and just before Ignia's betrayal. Everyone thinks Elesis is dead, Elsword is upstairs recovering with Aisha watching over him.
Now symbolically, this sums up everyone's stance pretty well in my opinion. Lu is sat with Ciel at her right hand. Perfect. Raven, Ara, Eve and Chung are all on one side, negotiating with Lu and Ciel and deciding whether to trust them. By all sitting/standing together, they show unity. Great.
They're directly across from Lu and Ciel, who they are speaking to and about to join forces with. Makes sense.
Meanwhile, Add is not quite away from the table, but he's not integrated with either group, either. This is fitting because this is before the point in the anime at least where he is actually dedicated to the group, but it shows that he is still, unbeknownst to himself, "at the table" metaphorically. That is to say, his truly joining the group instead of just tagging along to study Eve is very much plausible.
Ignia, meanwhile, is at an entirely different table, because at this point in the story, betraying Scar is unfathomable, even if she really, really wants to.
Lastly, leaving the one side of the table open allows us to see everyone clearly.
HOWEVER.
If I ignore all that symbolism.
It just looks like Add is refusing to let anyone else sit on the bench with him.

Remade this not very old piece just to see my improvement in painting/ art in general
I’m very happy to finally be able to draw Add without any struggles since he is my fave character of all time and I hope to draw more of him in the future haha

Something that really fascinates me is Ciel and Ain's dynamic. I don't think Ain, who feels estranged from humanity, can quite understand why Ciel gave up half of his, even if in exchange for his life.
Similarly, I like to compare Ain and Add. Add is someone who desperately searches for a means to go back to his past. Ain is struggling to secure a future.
