#he is for real roy batty yall

[truestfeeiing]

still thinking about this. can you imagine mello saying "time to die." with total resignation. can you imagine.

can you imagine mello stabbing that nail through his palm in mimicry of christ on the cross, glad to hold onto any veneer of humanity he has left even if it's suffering

can you imagine mello saying "this is what it feels like to be a slave" while looking into near's eyes before still choosing to save the life of his mortal enemy, to make his last act as a replicant an act of humanity

can you imagine near dreaming of the beautiful rachael only to wake up to mello, who's more alive and frightening and gorgeous than his murky concept of a woman could ever be, someone he didn't have to teach how to love because mello does it so freely, as though love's the only thing that's ever kept him going

can you imagine mello facing his creator (L) only to find his life is inherently limited, doomed to suffering, and that no amount of miracle-working could save him from alienation? could save his lover? can you imagine mello kissing him good bye as thanks anyway?

CAN YOU IMAGINE????
