*reads Literally Just A Summary Of The Events Of Separation Arc and starts foaming at the mouth*
#mob talk#god. it's just.#it's so fucking much.#someday i'll have the energy to write a proper post on the way Separation and Mogami are mirrors of each other#they're the fulcrum that the whole narrative turns around#the center of the narrative structure and the turning point#the whole show is about overcoming loneliness and how kindness and connection are the only antidote to the despair of isolation#and so here in the middle we have to see the isolation--see the horror of it--unvarnished#the empty world built for Mob and the empty world that Reigen builds for himself#it's not the only time that the show pairs the magical version of something with its mundane counterpart#but it's the most gutting#as a viewer you're safe from an evil ghost trapping you in a nightmare world#but you're not safe from the mundane loneliness you build by not having people#by being afraid to reach out#by pushing people away#but at the same time#you're not exempt from kindness#from having people who care#even if you don't deserve it#the ache of that loneliness is always there#but the love is there too#the tanscendent possibility of people deciding you're worth it#um#ANYWAY#I have normal human emotions about this show and about Riegen Arataka in particular hahaha
