#and right below his panel‚ here's Noe‚ absolutely debauched and looking like he's about to get fucked

Binge read all of vanitas no carte in like a day and a half. Gay ppl are literally insane. I always thought the ever-famous "I'll never set you free!" line was like... something to do with a binding contract or something. I didn't understand the hype about it, I was always like "Okay it's kind of cute that he's never gonna let this contract go, but it's not inherently romantic. What are you guys even talking abt right now."

But then you read it and there is SO MUCH romantic subtext, and even moments that are explicitly romantic between Vanitas and Noe.

And when Noe says "I'll never set you free!" it wasn't about a contract, it was him promising to never leave Vanitas. Vanitas saw total isolation and abandonment as "freedom," and Noe said, "As long as I'm here, you won't ever have that brand of freedom. I will never let you feel alone again. I promise to always be by your side, I promise to never abandon you. I promise to stay."
